The image shows a man in a head and shoulders portrait facing the right side of the frame. He sits with his head slightly elevated, looking ahead with a neutral expression. He has wavy hair styled high above his head and wears a formal military uniform with epaulettes. The background is dark and circular, setting off the light tones of his face and uniform. An inscription below provides identification information for the portrait.
