The image is a photograph of a bust of a man's head on a stone wall. The bust is made of bronze and is mounted on a rectangular plaque. The man's face is in profile, with his head turned slightly to the left and his eyes looking off to the side. He has a beard and mustache, and his hair is styled in a messy, curly manner. The plaque below the bust reads "125 de ANI de la Nacional de la Historia" which translates to "125 years of the history of the National Museum of the United States of America" in English. The date "31 August 2001" is also inscribed on the plaque.
