James McNeill Whistler

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etched portrait of a man from the chest upwards. He is presented in a slightly turned profile, facing the right side. The man has a large, full beard and mustache, with minimal detail on his eyes and nose. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and a jacket or coat. The background is a plain, textured surface, likely representing the texture of the etching plate.
