A quarter-length portrait of a white male with gray hair and mustache seated in a yellow chair facing the viewer. He is wearing a gray three-piece suit with gold pocket watch chain, white collared shirt and black tie. His proper right arm is leaning on the crest rail of the chair and the other hand is partially in his coat pocket.
