This is a studio color, 3/4 portrait of a young man posing in front of a mottled backdrip with brown-orange tints. He wears glasses, a black hat and a black tuxedo jacket over a white dress shirt with a black bow tie. He has a Masonic chain collar around his neck and a pin on each lapel. His pocket square features is folded to show red, white, and blue triangles. A name tag on his breast pocket reads, "FREDERICKSBURG LODGE #4/ A.F.&A.M./SHELTON S. MACKEY III/WORSHIPFUL MASTER".
