Portrait of a Man

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a monochrome drawing of a man's bust. He is facing to his left with a distinctive nose and chin, and has wavy, powder-white hair tied back. The man is dressed in a high-collared shirt with a ruffled cravat and a coat typical of 18th-century formal attire. The background is plain with a circular frame around the subject, emphasizing his features and clothing.
