You see a portrait of a man in formal attire with a high-collared shirt and dark coat. He's shown in a profile, which was a common way to depict people back then. The frame around him is plain and textured. This portrait is similar to others from the same time period, and to learn more about this style, look up the work of the museum: National Gallery of Art, Washington.
