This sepia photograph features a middle-aged or older man and woman, who appear to be a married couple, displayed within an oval frame. The frame is set against a rectangular, slightly worn, beige cardboard or paper backing.

The woman, positioned on the left side of the oval, has her hair pulled back tightly and is dressed in a dark, patterned blouse or dress. She wears small, simple earrings. The man, located on the right side of the oval, is sporting a long, full beard and wearing a dark-colored suit jacket and what looks like a small cap.

Both figures have a serious, somewhat stern expression. Their features are distinct, and their facial expressions are prominent.

In the lower-left corner of the rectangular backing, there is some handwritten text and a studio stamp. The text is partially obscured but appears to read "Richmond". The studio stamp reads "F. CIESLAK, 2641 Penn Ave., PITTSBURGH, PA.".

The photograph has the characteristics of an old portrait, with the sepia tone and the style of dress and hair suggesting it may be from the late 19th or early 20th century. The overall impression is that it is a formal portrait, possibly taken for commemorative purposes.
