The image depicts a man from the waist up, sitting upright and facing the camera directly. He has a full, bushy beard and wears spectacles. His hair is thick and neatly combed. He is dressed in a formal suit adorned with medals and ribbons, and a neatly tied bow tie. He holds a cane in his right hand, and a hat with a decorative band is on his lap. The background is a plain, textured surface in sepia tone.
