A particularly dark, half-length portrait of W. Maxwell Reekie. He is depicted as a stern man, wearing a brown three-piece suit, white shirt and black tie. He is looking straight out of the canvas, with sharp, rounded spectacles and balding hair, a dull light shining on his forehead. His right hand grasps the pocket watch in his waistcoat pocket, and his left rests in his lap. The background is a darkened green.
