Heinrich Julius von Goldbeck

Johann Friedrich Bolt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust portrait of a man in an oval frame on the paper. The man's upper torso is visible, facing slightly to his left and looking at the viewer. He has distinct facial features, prominent cheeks, and a composed expression. His hair is styled back in an 18th-century fashion, with curls framing his face and a ribbon at the back. He wears a black jacket over a white shirt. The background is light beige with faint sketch markings on the left side, including a smaller drawing of a person and abstract forms.
