National Gallery of Art

The image features a bust of a man in full profile facing right. The man appears to be wearing a military uniform, with curly hair styled back, an aquiline nose, a strong chin, and sideburns extending down his cheeks. The uniform is detailed with a high collar and epaulettes on the shoulders, buttons, and intricate braid details. The background is a simple, solid shade. The figure is set within a circular frame on a paper mounted on a card, with handwriting beneath reading "Capit. Dent."
