The photograph shows a man standing outdoors in front of a house. He is standing upright with his arms by his sides. His facial features are visible and include a clean face with a faint shadow of facial hair. He is wearing a beanie hat with the words "Newport" on it, and his hair is mostly covered. He is dressed in a work jacket, plaid shirt, and denim jeans with scuffs and a tear on one knee. He is wearing scuffed work shoes and a ring on one finger, not holding any objects. The setting includes wooden stairs covered with snow, a decorative pot, other pots, and a mailbox by the house's entrance. The house has light-colored siding, a small canopy above the door, suggesting a cold, winter day.
