Portrait of a Gentleman

Black and white oval portrait painting. The subject is a man with short, curly hair parted on the side. He wears a dark jacket with a velvet collar over a vest and a white dress shirt with a high collar. A patterned bow tie is tied around his neck. A watch chain hangs from his vest pocket. The background is a shaded gray with a lighter gray curtain on the right side. The painting style appears realistic. The man's attire suggests a 19th-century gentleman.
