This is a classic, waist-up portrait of an individual wearing formal attire. The subject is dressed in a dark, buttoned-up coat over a crisp, white collared shirt with a high, black cravat knotted at the throat. The attire suggests a style that was typical of the 19th century. The backdrop of the painting is plain, with muted, dark to light brown tones that give a soft, almost vintage ambiance. The brushwork is smooth with an emphasis on realism in the representation of the clothing's texture and folds. In the bottom right corner, the painting is signed "J. Irving. 1880." This suggests that the artist who created the piece may be named J. Irving and the work was completed in the year 1880. The signature is done in a reddish pigment that slightly stands out against the dark background.
