Black frame surrounds a black and white portrait. The portrait depicts a man with light skin, light-colored hair that is parted in the middle and hangs down to his shoulders in waves. He wears a dark jacket with a high-collared white shirt underneath. A white strip across the bottom of the portrait contains cursive writing. The background behind the portrait is white.
