American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man's upper body. He is facing the left side of the frame but looking directly at the viewer. He has short, dark hair, sideburns, dark eyes, and a clean-shaven face. The man is wearing a black coat over a white shirt with a white cravat. His arms are crossed in front of him. The background has a gradient from dark to light brown, with a hint of red drapery on the left.
