A vertically oriented full-length black-and-white photograph depicts a man with medium-light skin tone standing facing us against a wood-paneled wall. He wears a light-colored shirt and trousers, with metal shackles around his ankles. He holds a cigarette in his left hand. To our left, a pole leans against the wall. To our right, a framed portrait of George Washington hangs above a spindly plant in a bowl-shaped stand.
