An oval watercolor on ivory miniature depicts a man with light skin from the chest up, turned slightly right. He looks at us with dark eyes and wavy, dark brown hair. He wears a stiff white cravat and formal black coat against a background of soft blue and pink washes. Set within a gold-toned frame with a beaded inner edge and hanging loop, the portrait features delicate, smooth shading.
