Manuel Salvador Carmona, after Alexandre Roslin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust-length portrait of a man facing the viewer with his body slightly turned. The man has mature features, including a prominent nose, cheekbones, and deep-set eyes. His hair is styled in 18th-century fashion, with curls and possibly tied with a ribbon. He wears a decorated garment with lace details at the neckline and cuffs. He holds a brush and an artist's palette with brushes in the foreground. The background includes a textured circular frame.
