The image depicts a man standing upright and facing the viewer. He is holding a rifle with a bayonet attached, resting it on the ground. The man has a serious expression, a neat mustache, a short beard, and wears a military uniform with a brimmed cap. He stands on a patterned floor against a textured neutral backdrop. Nearby, there is a bundle of fabric or possibly a flag and a small architectural feature partially visible on the right side.
