This is a color 3/4 portrait of a middle-aged man, posing in front of a blue-gray backdrop with even rows of golden flowers and stars. His shoulders are slightly angled away from the camera and he looks into the camera. He wears a wide-brimmed black hat, a tuxedo jacket over a white front-ruffled shirt and a bow tie. Around his neck, he has a Masonic chain collar. He wears half-frame glasses and has a salt-and-pepper goattee. A round white Masonic pin is visible on his left lapel. A name tag is on his breast pocket but the text on it is not visible.
