Gentleman with a Riding Crop

Pierre Alexandre Wille

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing in historical attire. The individual is slightly turned to the side, looking forward. They are dressed in a long coat, knee-length breeches, stockings, and shoes with a buckle. The person holds a thin, long cane in both hands. The facial features are detailed, including a prominent nose and lips, with curly hair flowing from under a tricorn hat. The background is plain and textured, with the person casting a shadow on the ground.
