Outdoor portrait of a mounted gentleman wearing a light-colored frock coat and a wide-brimmed hat, posed before a tall wooden fence and some kind of building to the viewer's left. (Several scratches, spots of loss, haloing; unsealed.) Housed in a figural Union case, Washington Monument with Seraphs and Eagles [Berg 1-3S] (nicking, slightly loose closure).

While the subject could be a soldier with his gilded frock buttons, there are not enough details suggesting a military connection to make the claim with any certainty.
