The image displays a man in 18th-century attire standing against a tree. He has fair skin and powdered white hair. He is elegantly dressed in a green coat, blue waistcoat, white cravat, dark breeches, blue stockings, and black shoes with gold buckles. The man is holding a three-cornered hat, standing with one arm on a tree branch, legs crossed at the ankle, with a calm expression and a slight smile. The background features a tree, serene landscape with foliage, a reflective body of water, distant hills, and a cloudy sky.
