The image is a photograph of a headstone in a grassy area. The headstone is rectangular in shape and appears to be made of a light-colored stone. On the top of the headstone, there is a shield-like design with the words "John E. Ryan" and "Serg Co. C. 64 Ill. Inc." engraved on it. Below the shield, there are two lines of text that read "Nov 30, 1843 - Apr 18, 1914". The text is in black and is slightly faded, indicating that it has been there for a long time. The background of the image is blurred, but it seems to be a cemetery or a park.
