Black and white portrait of Dr. Ivey wearing a dark suit and tie-with a white shirt. He is holding the end of his trademark pipe with one hand held up and across his chest with the pipe in a smoking position up to his mouth pointing out in the same direction. The background looks white with squares cut out showing black behind, like the pattern of small windows in some glass doors.
