A sepia-toned studio portrait of a young man, head and shoulders, wearing a dark suit jacket, a white stiff-collared shirt and a light patterned tie, his hair parted and combed flat. He is posed against a painted studio backdrop of soft clouds and hazy hills, the sort of stock background common in small-town photographic studios of the era. No sitter name, studio mark or location is printed on the front, so the identity and place remain unknown.
