Fitch is depicted in old age, with a full white beard and curly whitish gray hair. He is standing with his left hand on his hip and his right is marking his place in a book, which is resting spine-down upon a table. He is wearing a black suit and bow tie and a white shirt. A floral rug is on the floor, upon which sits a red upholstered chair.
