A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts John F. Kennedy, a man with light skin, seated in a dark leather chair. Wearing a suit and tie with glasses perched on his hair, he looks right with a furrowed brow and parted lips. Light from the left illuminates his face as he holds papers. Behind him, cluttered desks, a fringed American flag, and striped curtains fill the office, beside a rectangular machine.
