The image shows a young male from the waist up. He is seated with both hands resting on his lap. He has a solemn expression with deep-set eyes, full lips, and short, closely-cropped hair. He is wearing a military uniform, including a coat with brass buttons, a belt with a rectangular buckle, and a cap with a short brim. Attached to his belt are two small sheathed knives or tools. The background is plain, and the photograph is housed in an ornate golden frame with an oval opening and decorative floral motifs.
