This photograph is a not a formal studio portrait, but a semi-candid monochromatic snapshot of a middle-aged man. It shows his head, shoulders, and torso. The man has a full but neatly groomed mustache that is graying, as well as graying short hair that is covered with a black fedora with a black band. He has large but thin silver metal-rimmed glasses. He has a large smile with gleaming and very straight teeth. He is wearing a buttoned black tuxedo jacket with long satin lapels over a white tuxedo shirt with a wing tip collar and black buttons and black satin bowtie. He is wearing a plastic name badge that says "Fredericksburg Lodge "4" / AF&AM / STEVEN M. GALLAHAN (in larger font) / SENIOR WARDEN (all centered) but some of the name tag is obscured by his lapel. He wears a a Masonic chain collar with a large L-shaped pendant in the center. He poses in front of a backdrop featuring regular rows of stars and flowers.
