He is a young man with abundant hair and a trimmed beard. He is seated, wearing a dark uniform with two rows of gold buttons, a fringed sash, and tall riding boots. He is holding a sheaf of papers in his left hand and a Union cap in his right hand. Seven officers are standing on either side and behind him. One is his son, Hazard Stevens. All but one officer has uniforms with a single row of gold buttons; one officer has a double row. All but Hazard Stevens are holding swords.
The date is probably incorrect as Brigadier General Isaac Stevens died in 1862.
