This color, studio portrait is of a middle-aged man in his late 50s or early 60s looking directly at the camera, wearing a black tricorn hat with yellow trim and two patches on the front left and right sides, wire frame glasses, a black suit coat, white button-down shirt with ruffles and red and blue diamond details, and a black velvet bow tie. The photograph only shows the sitter from his waist up, and his body is angled so that his right shoulder is further back than his left shoulder. He wears a worshipful master collar around his neck. On sitter's pocket, there is a black plastic name tag with "Fredericksburg /Lodge "4"/ E. Russell Smith / Worshipful Master" printed on it with masonic symbol under the lodge information. The back of the image has "Bill Buttram Photography / 503 Westwood Office Park / Fredericksburg VA 22401 / (703) 371-4445" stamped in black ink in the top center, and "Jan. 12, 1977" is stamped in black ink in the top right corner. In the bottom of the image's back, "Edward Russell Smith" is handwritten in black ink.
