A vertically oriented photogravure in warm brown tones depicts Calf Child, a Blackfoot man with a medium-dark skin tone. He faces our right. Deep horizontal wrinkles cross his forehead and line the corners of his eyes. His graying hair is swept back, with a braid falling over his shoulder. He wears a dark shirt and a strand of white beads. A hand rests against his chest. Text below reads "CALF CHILD—BLACKFOOT."
