Portrait of John Clark

William Doyle

Cleveland Museum of Art

Oval-shaped portrait of a man with short, curled brown hair, wearing a black jacket and a white shirt with a high collar; framed in a gold pendant frame. The man has light-colored eyes and light skin; he is centered in the frame looking directly ahead with a slight neutral expression. The background is plain and light-colored. The frame has a decorative edge. The pendant has a gold loop at the top. The painting's style and frame are typical of a 19th-century miniature portrait. The subject is John Clark, created by artist William Doyle.
