The image shows a man from the waist up in a standing position. He is facing slightly to the right and holding a musical instrument, possibly a concertina, in both hands. His facial features include a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, round glasses, short gray hair, and a distinguished expression. He is dressed in a double-breasted coat over a high-collared shirt, with a light-colored flower pinned to his left lapel. He is wearing a tall, rounded hat that matches the tone of his coat. The background is plain with some visible texture and a simple rail or banister is visible at the bottom right, suggesting an interior space. The photo shows signs of age.
