A carte de visite (CDV) features a portrait of a man in traditional attire, standing by a balustrade. The subject is dressed in voluminous trousers and a long tunic, typical of the period and region, with a fez on his head. He holds a cane in his right hand, adding a formal element to the composition. The photograph is bordered by a blue line, which was common in CDVs of the 19th century.

The back of the CDV contains handwritten text in Arabic script, offering additional context or identification. The writing is clear and legible, contributing to the historical value of the piece.
