He is standing with his proper left foot and shoulder forward, his head turned towards the viewer, and his hands in this pockets. He is wearing a medium toned overcoat with the collar flipped up, black pants, a patterned scarf, and a dark colored Stetson hat with a dark band around the crown. The hat is slightly tilted on his head. On the stage behind him is a set featuring a facade of close-set buildings. Over the bottom of the subject’s coat is a handwritten inscription in black ink that reads, [proof]. In the center of the top border of the photograph is a second inscription in black ink that reads, [#-2]. There are no inscriptions on the back of the photograph.
