Portrait of Man, Harvard University

George K. Warren

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an oval-framed photograph of a man captured from the waist up. He is seated and facing the camera with a slight tilt to his left. The man has short, slightly curly hair and a neatly groomed beard. His facial features are defined, with a focused expression. He is wearing a textured dark suit with a waistcoat, white shirt, and a bow tie. He holds a hat in his left hand, which rests on his lap. The background is simple and undistracting, consisting of a plain light-colored surface.
