This photograph depicts a man sitting forward, slightly hunched and looking directly into the camera. The man has light skin and short dark straight hair. He wears a dark suit over a light shirt. He is seen mainly from the waist up, and his legs are crossed. His right elbow rests on his crossed legs and his chin rests on his right hand. His left hand rests on his lap. The background is dark and hard to make out. Across the bottom, an inscription is handwritten.
