Portrait of a Gentleman

Black and white oval portrait of a man. The man has dark hair with sideburns and a beard under his chin. He wears a dark jacket, white shirt, and dark bowtie. The portrait has a decorative silver frame with a twisted rope-like pattern around the edge. A small loop or bail is at the top of the frame. The background behind the man in the portrait is light-colored and plain. The overall style and attire suggest the portrait is from the 19th century.
