National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in profile view from the chest up. He is facing to the right, with his head slightly turned. The man has detailed facial features, including a prominent nose and a clean-shaven face. His hair is short and evenly trimmed, with sideburns. He wears a dark, double-breasted coat with large buttons and a high collar, along with a white cravat wrapped around his neck. There are no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is a shaded gradient from dark to light, emphasizing the man's profile. Below the image is the handwritten name "Tristam B. Freeman" and it is signed as an engraving by T. Memin from Philadelphia.
