A vertically oriented full-length black-and-white photograph depicts a man with light skin tone from behind. He wears a dark uniform jacket, trousers, and cap. His arms bend at the elbows, hands meeting behind his back to grip a light-colored baton horizontally. A long shadow stretches across cobblestones and parallel metal tracks. In the background, a line of people stands before a building with a striped awning under sharp sunlight.
