The image depicts an artistic rendition of a person's upper body, featuring their head and shoulders. The person faces forward with a slight tilt to their head, showcasing a three-quarter view of their face. The facial features are stylized with angular lines, and the person has short, wavy hair styled in a classic manner. They are dressed in a historical military uniform with epaulets on the shoulders and a high collar. The background is plain with simple star shapes, and the name "S. Decatur" is written below the figure in cursive. The artwork uses sharp, white lines against a dark background to highlight features.
