DescriptionYoung man standing for studio portrait photo. Appears to be a cowboy or ranch hand. Has a full-beard and mustache and wears a broad-brimmed cowboy-style hat. Wears a long-sleeved, light colored shirt (possibly off-white), and has a bright, light colored (possibly white) bandana around his neck. Although his bandana obscures his shirt collar, it appears to be buttoned all the way to the neck. He wears dark trousers that appear to have verticle stripes (possibly corduroy) with work boots (upper portions of boots/shoes hidden by trousers). He has a pair of gauntlets as typically used by those working on horse-back or other labor requiring heavy, protective gloves. He wears one gauntlet on his right hand, and is holding the other in his left hand.
A portrait studio chair with fringe sits slightly in front of and to the side of the man's right leg. The decorative studio background includes a Greek/Roman-style column.
