National Gallery of Art

The image displays a man from the waist up, facing slightly left with eyes upward. He has a beard and mustache, a cap, and a high-collared garment with a ruff. He gestures with his right hand, and a book, hourglass, and ink pot with a quill pen are on the table in front of him. The background has a circular patterned border with an inscription, radiating lines, and the name "Mr John Carter" below the portrait.
