The image shows three people from the waist up. The woman in the center stands with her hands on her hips, displaying a stern expression. She has short, dark hair mostly covered by a large, wide-brimmed hat with decorative elements around the edge. Her clothing consists of a light-colored, short-sleeved blouse with lace trim. She also wears a strand of pearls around her neck and a large button on her blouse that reads "WIN IN '56 ADLAI ESTES." To her left, a man with a receding hairline holds a large cigar in his mouth and wears a dark suit, a patterned tie, and several badges pinned to his jacket. Another man, partially visible, stands to the right wearing a light-colored suit and a light hat with a black band. The background consists of a textured stone or concrete wall, with a cutout shape of a horse and some text behind the central figure.
