National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man's upper body in profile, with emphasis on his head and shoulders. The man has distinctive facial features such as a prominent nose, closed lips, and a sharp jawline. His wavy hair is styled with volume and swept back. He is dressed in a high-collared shirt and a dark coat with two visible buttons. The background is a plain dark circle, with a lighter backdrop at the outer edges. Below the portrait, there is handwritten text that reads "O. Keely" and "Nathaniel Williams."
