Theodore Sidney Moise

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man standing in a landscape with trees. The man has gray hair and wears a brown coat over a black vest, white collar and black bow tie. His right hand is on his chest, and his left hand holds a cane with a black handle. A black hat sits on the ground beside him. The background shows a large tree trunk behind the man, with a body of water and distant mountains. The sky is cloudy with a hint of orange and pink near the horizon. The man in the painting is Henry Clay, depicted by artist Theodore Sidney Moise.
