Elihu Vedder

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing with their back facing the viewer. The individual is standing with their right arm slightly bent and their left hand holding a slim stick or cane. Their head is turned to the right, showing a smooth profile. They are wearing a light-colored cap with yellow cross-like patterns, a pink tunic with intricate details at the collar, white vertical stripes on the puffed sleeves, form-fitting blue hose with green and black striped patterns over the calves, a green belt at the waist, and a pink ribbon tied around the left thigh. The person is wearing flat, dark-colored shoes. The background is plain.
