National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side profile portrait of a man's upper body. He has a prominent nose and defined facial features, with medium-length wavy hair styled in a way reminiscent of the 18th or 19th century. The man is wearing a high-collared coat with a white ruffled cravat. The background is plain, with a circular vignette surrounding the subject. Below the portrait, the name "A. J. Constable." is written in script on a brown label.
