This portrait is of a man in a formal military uniform, with a dark blue jacket and a light blue sash across his chest. He wears a white shirt and a black bow tie, and has a star-shaped medal on his left side. The background of the painting is a solid dark color. The man's face is serious, with a slight smile. His hair is gray and styled in a neat manner. The overall effect of the painting is one of dignity and respectability. The artist who created this portrait is Wilhelm August Christian Abel.
