A vertically oriented, sepia-toned photogravure portrait depicts Captain Charley, an older man with medium-dark skin, facing us. His weathered face is etched with deep wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes. He has a somber expression and thin, wispy light hair. A dark, textured blanket drapes across his shoulders, blending into the shadowy background. The warm brown tones and soft lighting emphasize the rugged details of his aging skin.
