Brustbild nach links, das kurze schwarze leicht gewellte Haar korrespondiert mit der dunklen Kleidung, wobei der helle Hemdkragen einen wirkungsvollen Akzent liefert. Das Gesicht nachdenklich mit leichtem um den Mund ziehendes Lächeln. Insgesamt von der für den Künstler typisch hohen Portraitqualität.
Der Portraitierte war der bedeutende englische Chemiker Humphry Davy, 1802 - 1812 Professor für Chemie an der Royal Institution in London. Durch Elektrolyse geschmolzener Alkalien gelang es ihm erstmals, die Elemente Natrium, Kalium, Barium, Strontium, Calcium und Magnesium darzustellen. Er erkannte Chlor als Element und entdeckte, dass Wasserstoff Voraussetzung für Säuren ist, womit er zu den Wegbereitern der modernen Elektrochemie zählt. (10710914) (11)
