content: A three-quarters portrait of Elbert A. Gibbs depicted as Colonel, Corps of Engineers, General Construction. An oil painting on an illustration board. A white man, Colonel Gibbs has brown hair and glasses. He is wearing a tunic with a Sam Browne belt, and two downward chevrons on his left arm sleeve indicating he has spent a year overseas. He appears to be reading something. His collar contains two insignias: one U.S. officer insignia and the other is a castle indicating Corps of Engineers insignia. A green line is seen running down his left shoulder, possibly indicating a green cord. The rest of the arm, hand, and bottom portion of the portrait is not sketched or painted in detail. Colonel Gibbs's signature is seen on the bottom portion of the portrait.
