The image depicts a man standing in a relaxed pose, with one hand on an ornate chair and the other on his hip. He has a clean-shaven face and styled hair under a round sailor's cap inscribed with "JAMES ADGER". He is wearing a naval outfit with a dark shirt, knotted scarf, and matching trousers. The background includes a patterned curtain and a plain wall, with a diamond-patterned linoleum floor.
