Full length portrait of a gentleman, standing at the entrance of a park. The subject leans against a large gatepost to the left, surmounted by a neoclassical urn, and carries a stick in his left hand. He wears a green jacket fastened with a single button, and a white shirt with lace cravat. The park extends beyond in shades of green, and a river flows in the background. A large tree looms over the gentleman, and the sun sets beneath a hazy sky.
