Black and white photograph of a round, framed portrait. The frame is circular and made of a dark material, possibly wood or metal, with a slightly raised edge around the portrait. The portrait itself is a side profile of a man with short hair, wearing a military-style jacket with epaulets on the shoulders and a high collar. A bow is tied at the back of his head. The background of the portrait is stippled. The frame is standing on a small metal stand. The background is plain and light-colored. The title of the piece is "Box" by an unknown artist.
