It depicts Körner in a three-quarter view, with his head turned slightly to the left, wearing a dark coat over a light waistcoat, and a white shirt. The portrait's simple composition emphasizes Körner's features, capturing his intelligent expression and gentle demeanor. Siching’s precise lines and subtle shading create a realistic portrayal of Körner.
