National Gallery of Art

This image shows the upper section of a man's body, displaying his profile from the shoulders up. The man is depicted in a side profile with his head turned slightly to the right. He has a noticeable nose and full lips, along with curly hair styled away from his face, featuring defined sideburns. He is dressed in a high-collared shirt with ruffled fabric under a dark jacket, which appears to be buttoned. The portrait is enclosed in an oval frame against a plain background, with the name "T. D Owings" written at the bottom of the image on a beige border. The color scheme is mostly monochromatic, with different shades of gray and sepia.
