Gulian Verplanck

Black and white portrait painting of a seated man. The man has short, curly hair and wears a dark-colored coat with a white ruffled shirt underneath. His right arm rests on his lap, and his left arm is bent at the elbow with the hand resting on the arm of the chair. He sits in a chair with a high back, and there is an open book on a table to his right. The background is a wall with a curtain or drapes. The painting is titled "Gulian Verplanck" and is by artist John Wesley Jarvis.
