National Gallery of Art

The image is a profile portrait of a man's upper body from the chest up. He is seated with his head turned to the left, showing a left side profile view of his face. The man has a strong nose, closed lips, and a defined jawline. His hair is short and wavy, covering his ears and extending to the nape of the neck. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar over a white shirt with a high neck. The background is a plain circular field with a textured appearance, within a rectangular frame with a hand-written inscription at the bottom that reads "Hy. Toxall."
