The painting depicts an elderly man with white hair, wearing a red robe over a black shirt and white cuffs. He is seated in a chair, with his hands resting on the armrests. The man's face is serious, and his eyes are cast downward. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. This portrait is a study of Sir Henry Wentworth Acland, created by artist Hubert von Herkomer.
