Shannon’s chin is resting on his left hand and his left elbow rests on the table. His right arm is bent and partially obstructed by Ricketts. Shannon is wearing a suit jacket with a collared shirt and tie. Rickets also wears a suit and tie and has a moustache and a beard. The image is vertically displayed.
