Framed formal studio portrait, black-and-white, of an elderly heavy-set gentleman with wispy white hair combed back, silver round wire-rimmed spectacles, a white pocket square, white dress shirt and patterned dark tie under a dark suit — holding a small white porcelain cupping cup near his face in his right hand and a black-handled cupping spoon in his left, looking down at a large cascading mound of whole roasted coffee beans on a polished dark bench with the cast-iron base of a shop-counter sample grinder (ring-pull catch drawer visible) at lower left, against a continuous studio backdrop — double-matted in cream with a gold inner accent in a dark-stained wood frame with gold-leaf trim, photographed hanging on a cream-painted stucco wall on 2019-12-04; subject tentatively identified as Gus P. Menger of Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Co. in later life (identification not yet confirmed)
