The image shows two full-body figures. On the left, there is a person dressed in classical-style garments with draped robes and a laurel wreath around the head, holding a pole or staff. To the right stands a man in a military uniform holding an American flag, with an upright posture and one hand on the flagstaff. The surroundings include an ornate floral border with inscriptions reading "RATHER DIE FREEMEN, THAN LIVE TO BE SLAVES" and "3RD UNITED STATES COLORED TROOPS," along with tents and trees in the background.
