Portrait of a seated Efrem Zimbalist holding his young son, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., on his lap. He is dressed in suit and tie. His son is wearing a white, frilled outfit with short pants. Efrem is not smiling, but conveys the appearance of a proud father; indeed, his son, Efrem Jr., grew up to become a famous actor. The photograph is inscribed, but the inscription is only partially legible. The year 1922, appearing on the boy's left wrist, would place Efrem, Jr. at around three to four years of age.
