This is a color 3/4 portrait of a middle-aged man, posing in front of a plain, light-blue backdrop with some darker blotches. His shoulders are slightly angled away from the camera and he looks up, a little off camera. He wears a hat, a tuxedo jacket over a front-ruffled white shirt and a bow tie. Around his neck, he has a Masonic chain collar. A name tag on his jacket pocket reads, "FERDERICKSBURG LODGE "4"/ WILLIAM E. DAVIS/ WORSHIPFUL MASTER".
