The sketch shows Judge Joe B. Brown seated at the judge's bench in the background. In the foreground, Jack Ruby can be seen sitting next to one of his defense attorneys, Joe Tonahill, who leans slightly towards Ruby. Handwritten captions along the bottom edge of the image read "To Joe Tonahill / Walt Stewart / WFAA-TV," "Brown instructing jury for final arguments," and "Joe Tonahill." Stewart's signature "Stewart 3/13/64 / Ruby trial" is located in the lower right corner under the sketch and above the captions.
