Asher Brown Durand, after Robert Weir

The image shows a man in a portrait from the chest up. He is facing slightly left but looking directly at the viewer. The man has a serious expression, sideburns, round spectacles, dark wavy hair, and is wearing formal attire from the 19th century. The background is simple, emphasizing the figure. Signatures are visible near the bottom of the portrait.
