Benjamin Franklin

Franz Weber

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a three-quarters portrait. He has distinct facial features with a prominent forehead, high cheekbones, and a light expression. His hair is wavy and receding at the front, flowing down around his ears and behind his shoulders. The man is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark fur-collared coat and a white cravat or neckcloth. The background is a simple, unadorned off-white color.
