The subject's facial expression is neutral, with a subtle furrowing of his brow. The overall tone of the image is somber, with the dark colors and serious expression contributing to a sense of gravity. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this work, offering a glimpse into the artistic style of its creator, Edward S. Curtis.
