The image is a black and white photograph of a bust of a man. The bust is made of marble and is mounted on a pedestal. The man is depicted in profile, with his head turned slightly to the left and his eyes looking off to the side. He is wearing a cap with a feather on top and a shawl draped over his shoulders. His hair is combed back and he has a serious expression on his face. The background is a dark, ornate wallpaper with a floral pattern. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
