National Gallery of Art

This image is a portrait engraving depicting a man in profile, facing left. The man's facial features are detailed, with a prominent nose, closed mouth, and chin. His hair is styled in tight curls at the crown, flowing into controlled waves down his neck. He is dressed in traditional attire with a high-collared shirt, a loose scarf or cravat, and a dark coat with layered collars. The background is an oval-shaped frame with a neutral tone, and the name "Josiah Quincy" is handwritten below the oval.
