Portrait of a Man

Peregrine F. Cooper

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a painting of a man's upper body, centered in an oval frame. He is angled slightly to the left, facing the viewer with a composed expression. The man has distinct facial features, a well-defined jawline, short wavy hair parted on the side, sideburns, and a neat moustache. He wears a dark suit, high-collared white shirt, and dark bow tie. The background is a muted blue. The oval painting is within a wide, dark wooden frame with carved detailing on the edge.
