Oval-shaped black and white portrait of a man. The man has dark, curly hair and round wire-rimmed glasses. He wears a clerical collar and a black shawl or cape over a white shirt. The portrait is surrounded by an ornate silver frame. The frame features a twisted rope design along the inner edge and an etched leaf pattern along the outer edge. A loop is attached to the top of the frame with a figure of a woman, likely a religious figure. The background behind the frame is plain.
