The image displays a man from the waist up, seated with his hands together in his lap. He has a short beard and mustache, wearing a cowboy hat and a vertical striped button-up shirt with a pocket on the chest, over a white t-shirt. The man has a neutral expression on his face, and the background is a plain dark backdrop with a light-colored surface visible to the right.
