Portrait of Frederick R. Leyland

The portrait of Frederick R. Leyland, created by James McNeill Whistler, depicts a man with a beard. The man is drawn in charcoal with some white highlights on a brown paper background. He wears a dark jacket over a white shirt. The man looks to the left with a cigarette in his mouth. His right hand is near his chest. The drawing appears to be a study or sketch. The image is framed by a white border, which is in turn surrounded by a black border.
