Portrait of Three Men

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

Three men are shown in the image. Two men are seated in the foreground, one on the left holding a guitar and the other on the right holding a small statue and a flag resembling the American flag. Both have mustaches. The man on the left has curly hair and wears a bowler hat, while the man on the right also wears a hat, with neatly styled hair and a patterned robe or overcoat. The third man in the background is obscured but holds a similar flag, has facial hair, and is smoking a pipe. The setting appears to be an indoor studio with a plain backdrop and a textured surface suggesting a decorative carpet.
