National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man standing on a square platform labeled "PICKWICK." The man faces slightly to the right and holds a brown ball-like object in his left hand, with his right hand behind his back. He has a receding hairline, dark hair, sideburns, bushy eyebrows, a prominent nose, and a serious expression. He wears a dark tailcoat over a light waistcoat, white shirt, bow tie, tan trousers, and knee-high black boots. The background is plain.
