This sepia-toned photograph shows a man from the waist up, his body and face turned slightly to the right. He has dark skin, a thin black mustache, a sparse black beard, a broad nose, and lips set in a neutral expression. He wears a light-colored cap or head wrap covering his hair, and has the United States flag draped around his shoulders and torso. The collar of a white shirt is visible above the top of the flag. The background is black, and the edges of the photo have some hints of pale yellow.
