The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is seated in a chair facing forward with his body slightly turned to one side. He has a long beard, a distinguished mustache, short, neatly combed hair, and is wearing a military uniform with epaulets and buttons. A sash is tied across his waist. The man is holding a sword in one hand, resting the other on a surface holding a military hat with a plume. The background is plain. Below the portrait is text identifying the man as Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia.
