A warm-toned photogravure depicts Agíchida, an Assiniboin man with weathered skin, in profile facing left. His face, marked by downcast eyes and set lips, emerges from a soft-focus background of foliage. Light highlights his high cheekbone and brow. A dark braid falls over his shoulder onto a heavy, frayed garment. Small text is printed in the margins of the light-colored paper.
