The oval frame is on a larger square background with a thin white border. At the bottom of the image is text that reads 'ALOIS SENEFELDER INVENTOR OF LITHOGRAPHY' and smaller text below it. The background of the oval frame is shaded dark at the top and sides and lighter at the bottom. The man's portrait shows him looking to his right. The floral border includes leaves, flowers, and foliage. A ribbon with a signature appears in the bottom right of the oval frame. The year '1877' is written on the bottom right of the frame.
