The officer is seated facing left with his legs crossed. His right arm rests on the table next to him which is covered with a floral tablecloth. When the image was retouched, the legs of his chair were painted over and only partially painted back in. The image is mounted on a board that shows through in the lower right corner. The image is attached to a folded cover which has an oval cut out to display the portrait. Inscription on inside cover: "Library Catalogue." From the Meserve Collection.
