The image shows an individual seated in a dark, armchair-style seat with their hands resting gently on the chair's arms. The person is wearing a black robe with what appears to be a red sash or stole with black detailing at the edges, suggesting attire typically worn for academic, judicial, or ecclesiastical purposes. In the background, there is a wooden bookshelf filled with books bound in various shades of red and a few dark tones; a stack of large, unbound papers or thin books lies atop the bookshelf. The painting is characterized by a realistic style, with attention to the folds of the robe and the texture of the chair. In the top right corner, the artist's signature, "J. Higgins," is visible. The backdrop is largely composed of muted wooden brown tones, giving emphasis to the figure in the attire.
