The image is a portrait of a man in a seated position within an oval frame. The man is facing slightly to his left but looking directly at the viewer. He has wavy, shoulder-length hair and a mustache, with facial features that include a prominent nose. The man is dressed in a buttoned, dark-colored coat with a white collar that features lace detailing, and he has a garment draped over his left shoulder. There is no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The oval portrait is set against a faux brick-patterned background that also frames the portrait on either side. Beneath the image is a plaque with engraved text detailing the man's name, title, and accomplishments.
