The image depicts a man seated on an ornate settee. He has a mustache, neat hair, and is wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a dark bow tie. He is holding a document in his right hand. Beside him is a table with a patterned cloth. The background is plain and the scene is framed in gold, resembling a historical photograph such as a daguerreotype.
