He is wearing a hat, possibly a wide-brimmed one, and overalls or similar clothing, suggesting work attire or casual wear typical of the early 20th century.

The image is a negative of a photograph showing a man seated in an open vehicle, likely an early automobile. The man is wearing a hat and is looking towards the camera while holding onto what appears to be the steering wheel. His attire seems to be work clothes, possibly overalls. Due to the negative format, the areas that would typically be light appear dark and vice versa, giving the image a high-contrast and somewhat ghostly appearance. The background includes some foliage or trees, suggesting the vehicle is outdoors. The details of the vehicle's interior structure are also visible, such as the steering mechanism and the seat on which the man sits.
