Black and white photo. There are three main subjects in the photo: A man in a white button down shirt and black pants with his sleeves rolled up. He is holding the next subject: a naked baby who is coming out of the baptismal font. On their right is a priest in a long robe with a silk garment that goes around his neck and down his back. The baptismal font is large and metal and has three lit candles and a towel hanging off of it. The floor is checkered black and white and there are people sitting in the pews behind the three main subjects, but are undistinguishable.
