The image shows a man standing in a photographic studio and holding a straw hat in his left hand. The man is of middle age. He is wearing a dark suit and a white skirt. He is standing next to a railing on which books (photographic albums?) are lying - on which he placed his right hand. The man has an impressive moustache.
