The sitter in this black-and-white portrait is a middle-aged man, posing in front of a plain studio backdrop. He wears round glasses and has dark hair combed back. His right shoulder is placed farther away from the camera than the right shoulder and he looks off the camera.
He wears a dark-colored suit jacket over a white shirt and a tie with diagonal lines. On the center right of the back of the photograph there is a stamp from A.W. Campbell Studio. "Walter Shelton" is written in pencil below.
