A middle age man in a powdered wig is shown in a bust-length portrait against an undifferentiated blue background.  In addition to the wig, he is wearing a mauve silk coat, orange waistcoat, and ruffled white shirt.  His shoulders are in profile to the viewer, but the sitter turns his head and looks in the direction of the viewer.  The expression is one of great intelligence, wit and even humor.
