Thsi is a black-and-white studio portrait of a middle-aged man who looks straight at the camera. A plain backdrop in a dark color is behind him. The sitter wears a dark-colored, shiny tophat, a dark-colored bow tie and tuxedo jacket over a light-colored ruffle shirt. Around his neck, he has a Masonic chain collar with a large square pendant. A name tag is pinned on the breast pocket.
