Half-length portrait of a standing figure, facing front. The subject's hands are crossed on a cane head and his right elbow rests on a book. Behind his right arm is a black hat. The subject has gray hair, brown eyes, and a fair complexion. He is wearing a tan-gray coat, a brown waistcoat with buttons, and a white collar, shirt, and neckcloth. In the left background is a large rock with a leafy vine growing up the right side. In the right background, behind the figure, is a landscape of hills and forest against a partly cloudy, blue sky. A bark-covered lodge and two Native American figures are depicted in the landscape foreground. Unsigned and undated.
