Thomas Murray

John Smith after Thomas Murray

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a man from the waist up, faced slightly to his right. He has a round face with prominent cheeks, a straight nose, and full lips. His hair is curly and voluminous, flowing down around his shoulders. The man wears a luxurious garment with billowing sleeves and a white cravat at his neck. His left hand rests on the garment near his chest. The background is a neutral dark tone, and an oval frame surrounds the subject. At the bottom of the image is elegant script that reads "Tho: Murry Pictor."
