National Gallery of Art

The image displays a man depicted in profile from the shoulders up. He faces to the right, with distinct features such as a prominent nose and a slightly pointed chin. His hair is voluminous with waves, tied back at the nape of his neck with a ribbon. He wears a high-collared garment, possibly a coat or jacket, with a cravat visible underneath. The background is plain and circular, contrasting with the lighter beige tone of the rest of the image. Handwritten text reads "Ph. Fister" and "Philip Pfister."
