National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man facing right in profile. His features include a prominent nose, strong chin, deep-set eyes, and white hair styled back and tied with a ribbon. He wears historical formal attire with a dark coat, visible buttons, and a white high-collared cravat. The simple circular background lacks additional details. The image is mounted on a paper with a light brown border and the signature "J. ph Barn" beneath the portrait.
