Oval-shaped portrait painting of a man. The man has dark hair parted in the middle, combed to either side, and curled at the sides. He wears round glasses. He has a black coat, black bowtie, and white collared shirt. The background of the painting shows blue sky and white clouds. The frame is gold-colored with etched floral designs on the perimeter and a shaped bail at the top. The pendant-style frame is oval-shaped and matches the oval shape of the painting.
