The image shows a portrait of a man from the mid-chest up, facing to the right in profile. He has light-colored wavy hair, a high forehead, a pointed nose, and a well-defined jawline. He is dressed in period attire, including a dark jacket with visible buttons and a white shirt collar that is high and folded over. The background is a dark oval vignette, contrasting with the lighter foreground. Below the portrait is a strip of light-colored paper with the handwritten name "C. O. Thompsson."
