Portrait of a Man in a Tricorn Hat

Georg Friedrich Schmidt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a person from the chest up. The person is seated and facing forward with their head slightly tilted to one side. The facial features are detailed, with a prominent nose, full lips, and slightly downcast eyes. The person has curly hair that falls to the sides, and they are wearing a large, rounded hat that sits atop their head. Their clothing consists of a buttoned garment with visible texture and detailing around the chest area. The background is composed of shaded lines, suggesting a neutral setting without distinct details. No jewelry or objects are visible.
