The image is a black and white photograph of a sign that reads "The Cockermouth School of Portrait Painters". The sign is located in a museum or exhibition space with other exhibits visible in the background.

On the left side of the sign, there is a portrait of a man in a suit and tie. He is looking off to the side with a serious expression on his face. On the right side, there are three smaller portraits of people. The first portrait is of a woman sitting on a chair, the second is of two men sitting on the ground, and the third is of an older man. The text on the sign is written in white and black and is in a large font size.
