The man has detailed facial features with curly hair that appears voluminous and styled with a ribbon at the back. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar, over a white shirt with ruffles at the neck. The coat has a large round button visible. There is no visible jewelry or objects he is holding. The background of the image is a simple dark circle that contrasts with the lighter foreground, and the engraving is signed by S. Memin below the image and labeled with the name "Andw Hazlehurst."
