The image is a portrait of a man hanging on a white wall. The portrait is framed in a wooden frame with a gold border. The man is shown from the waist up, facing the viewer with a serious expression on his face. He has a white beard and mustache, and is wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a black bow tie. The background is a light beige color, and there is a small plaque below the portrait that reads "Octavius Hammond, Jr."
