National Gallery of Art

The image displays a bust-length profile portrait of a man, only depicting the upper body from the shoulders upwards. He faces the right side of the frame. The man has a straight nose, slightly arched eyebrows, and sideburns leading into curly, short hair. His hair is styled in waves with a slight lift near the crown. He wears a dark coat with visible buttons and a high collar, complemented by a light-colored cravat or neckcloth. The background is plain, darker gray with a circular frame around the portrait and a strip of paper below with the text "Wm. Yeaton."
