A vertically oriented photogravure in sepia tones closely crops around Black Eagle, a Nez Percé man with a medium skin tone. Facing us directly, his brow is deeply furrowed and mouth set in a straight line. His long, dark hair is swept up across the top of his head. Several strands of a light-colored necklace rest over a dark, textured garment. He emerges from a softly lit, dark background.
