The insignia cap and the three stars visible on the collar distinguish this portrait of a man in uniform, wearing thin-rimmed glasses. The image, with strong contrasts, is framed by a golden fillet on a white porcelain border. The inscription "Gueret-Jonas, Mons" appears in golden letters on the lower edge. This small oval portrait brings a different subject to a collection of ceramic photographs, with particularly legible clothing details.
