A vertically oriented sepia photogravure closely crops a portrait of Old Eagle, an Oto man with a medium skin tone. Facing forward with a furrowed brow, his weathered features are rendered with soft, tonal shading. He wears a dense fur hat featuring a beaded band. Beaded necklaces, a large circular medal, and a dramatic collar of long, curved bear claws fan across his shoulders, their smooth surfaces catching highlights against a textured fur garment.
