The image shows an upper-body portrait of a young boy seated in a three-quarter pose, facing slightly to the left. He has a serious expression with dark, neatly combed hair. The boy is wearing a dark-colored jacket with a high collar and a white shirt, with a small patterned bow tie around his neck. His attire is adorned with a United States flag pin and a decorative button on his lapel. The photograph is framed in an ornate gold-colored mat typical of 19th-century photography. The background of the image is a solid dark color.
