The image shows a man seated from the waist up. He has short, dark hair and styled sideburns. He is wearing a dark suit jacket, waistcoat, and a cravat. His left arm is resting on a table with a patterned cloth, and his right hand is on his thigh. The man's gaze is directed towards the camera, and he has a neutral expression. A watch chain hangs from his waistcoat. The image is framed in gold within a red frame, with a plain, neutral background typical of vintage photographs.
