Portrait of a Gentleman

Possibly British 18th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper body of a man facing the viewer directly with a slight turn to his left. He has a serious expression with distinct facial features, fair complexion, round cheeks, and voluminous, tight curls framing his face. He is dressed in a historical coat with gold buttons and trim, a white high-collared shirt, and a cravat. The background is a muted, dark brown tone.
