Portrait of a Man

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing upright with his arms crossed over his chest. He has distinct facial features, a full beard, and a hairstyle with a central part and side-slicked hair. He wears a dark suit with a jacket, vest, white shirt, and tie. Next to him is a chair with a jacket and a top hat. The background is a flat tone, and an ornate carpet is on the floor. The scene is enclosed in an oval frame with a gold border.
