Portrait of a Man

Giuseppe de Nittis

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a man's bust, focusing on his head and upper torso. The man faces slightly to his left, with a three-quarter view of his face showing a stern expression, prominent eyebrows, a full beard, and short dark hair. He wears a suit jacket over a shirt, suggesting a formal style typical of the era. The background is blank, and there are no visible jewelry or objects.
