Shylock--A Sketch

Joseph T. Keiley

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person in a three-quarter length portrait, facing slightly to the right with the left arm extended outward and the right hand resting on their chest. The person's facial features include a prominent nose and deep-set eyes, framed by long, wavy hair that appears slightly disheveled. The person wears a dark coat with a wide collar over a light shirt that has a cravat tied at the neck, and a sash tied around the waist. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or held objects. The background is a plain, dark backdrop, and the entire image has a sepia tone.
