A vertical sepia photogravure crops closely around the face of an elderly person looking downward. Their long, graying hair is swept back from a deeply wrinkled face, while round-rimmed spectacles rest on their nose. A dark, braided cord drapes over a light-colored garment with a single button. Warm, monochromatic tones emphasize the skin's weathered texture. The portrait is set within light-colored margins containing fine text at the top and bottom.
