This three-quarter length portrait is of a man recognized as Keltner, who was perhaps a member of the Clyde McCoy band. He is pictured here in formal wear with his hands in his pockets and his body turned away from the camera. Keltner turns slightly and addresses the camera with a stern expression. Most of the background is a stark white that gives way to hatched markings, revealing the sepia tone of the actual backdrop. The markings are a result of Hixon's photo manipulations that frame the well-kempt subject in this portrait with crude sketched lines in contrast.
