The image is a cyanotype portrait of a man in a military uniform. The man is depicted from the chest up, facing to the right. He is wearing a pith helmet, a type of helmet commonly worn in tropical climates. The uniform appears to be a long-sleeved jacket with a textured surface. The image is monochromatic, with a deep blue background and a lighter blue rendering of the man and his uniform. There are two small holes in the upper corners of the image, likely from where it was hung or mounted. The overall aesthetic is reminiscent of early photographic processes, with a slightly faded and ethereal quality.
