Description
A card mounted portrait of a young man wearing a closely tailored double breasted overcoat with a wide collar. Under his coat can be seen the bordered high collar of a military uniform. In his hands he holds a baton and perhaps another cap made of fur. On his close cropped head he wears his Persian lamb cap at a jaunty angle.
