John Brown, M.D.

James Thomson after John Donaldson

National Gallery of Art

The image presents a man in a half-length portrait. He is seated and facing the viewer, with a gentle smile. The man has distinct features, light-colored neatly combed hair, and no facial hair. He is dressed in a dark coat with large buttons, a waistcoat, and a white cravat. The background is plain and dark. The name "John Brown M. D." is written below the portrait, along with engraver's and publisher's information.
