The image is a sepia-toned photograph showing a man in military uniform seated on a wooden chair. He is sitting with his legs crossed, leaning slightly back with an arm resting on the chair's armrest. He has a serious expression, short hair, and is wearing a dark military uniform with high lace-up boots and leggings. A chevron insignia is visible on his sleeve. In the top left corner of the image, an inset circular portrait features a woman with short hair, wearing a dark hat with a wide brim and a coat over a blouse. The background is plain and neutral with some darkened spots on the photograph, giving it an aged appearance.
