Thomas Sully

National Gallery of Art

This painting is a portrait showing the upper torso and head of a man turned slightly to the right. The man is looking at us with a neutral expression. His facial features include pale skin, a high forehead, dark eyebrows, and dark hair styled with waves and curls around his temples. He is wearing a black coat over a white shirt. The shirt is adorned with a white cravat wrapped around his neck, visible above the coat's collar. The background is a brown shade, and the painting is marked with the initials "TS" and "1834" at the bottom left corner.
