National Gallery of Art

This image depicts the upper half of a man's body. He is seated with his body turned slightly to the side, facing forward. The man has a long, oval face with pronounced cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and slightly parted lips. He is wearing a large, soft hat that covers his hair and drapes over his shoulders. The man is dressed in a period outfit, including a shirt with a high collar and a voluminous jacket made of heavy fabric. The background is plain, drawing focus to the man's features and clothing. Text appears in a decorative border at the top, revealing the subject and the artist.
