Ebenezer Storer II

John Singleton Copley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The portrait depicts a man with a fair complexion and blue eyes. He wears a green hat, a white collared shirt with a bow at the neck, and a brown robe or coat. The background of the painting is dark brown. The man is shown from the chest up, facing slightly to the right. His head is tilted, and he appears to be looking directly ahead. The style of his clothing suggests an 18th-century setting.
