Photo is of a man sitting at an artists table. There is a big portrait on the table and the same one smaller in his left hand. The portrait may be Judge Botkin or possibly Stephen Hancock.
There are other portraits on the wall and floor. The man is holding a button on a cord in his hand. Possibly it is a camera button.
