The image shows a man standing upright, facing the camera directly. He is wearing a military-style uniform with a buttoned-up jacket and trousers tucked into high socks, along with polished leather boots. His facial features are defined, with closely cropped hair. He has a ring on his left ring finger. The background is an artistic studio setting with a painted backdrop suggesting an outdoor scene with plants and a stone railing or balcony. The image is sepia-toned.
