Officer in a Red Coat

John Ramage

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is an oval-shaped, black and white portrait. The portrait depicts a man with light-colored hair combed back and away from his face. He has a serious expression and is looking to his left. The man is wearing a high-collared white shirt and a dark-colored bow tied around his neck. He has a light-colored vest under a dark-colored coat with two visible buttons. The background behind the man in the portrait is darker on the right side and gradually lightens to the left. The oval portrait has a thin metal frame and a small loop at the top for hanging. The background behind the oval portrait is plain and light-colored.
