His Majesty is wearing the uniform of a French Field Marshall with the Narai Had sword tucked under his left arm. The sword handle is most unusual as it is carved in the form of a hand wearing rings. His right hand holds the stick which has a short blade inside. His left hand holding a handkerchief rests on the tables.

A stand has been placed behind the King’s chair to prevent any movement during the photographic process. As Photographer used glass plates with a very low light sensitivity, the subject was obliged to stay still for a relatively long time. (Paisarn Piemmettawat 2015: 43)
