Carte-de-visite head and shoulders photograph of Archduke Wilhelm of Austria, in a vignette format. The subject is shown in three quarter view, facing towards the right of the image. His hair is arranged in a left side parting and he has a mutton chop beard. He is wearing military uniform, adorned with a medal. 

Archduke Wilhelm was the son of Archduke Charles, Duke of Teschen and Princess Henrietta of Nassau-Weilburg.

He remained unmarried and without children. He died after falling from a horse whilst riding in Baden. The horse bolted and the Archduke was thrown off. One of his feet lodged in one of the stirrups, and he was dragged more than a hundred yards. He died without regaining consciousness.
