Black and white portrait painting of a man, titled "William Ellery" by artist William G. Armstrong. The man has light-colored, medium-length hair parted in the middle and combed on either side. He has light-colored eyes and wears a white neck scarf beneath an open dark-colored jacket. A decorative metal frame surrounds the portrait, with a loop and ball at the top. The frame is rectangular with a ribbed edge and a textured surface. The portrait fills most of the frame. The background of the portrait is light-colored.
