National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a side profile portrait of a man in late 18th to early 19th-century attire. The man has a composed expression with well-defined facial features, a Roman nose, and styled hair with curls framing his face, pulled back into a ponytail. He is wearing a dark coat with large buttons, a high-collared shirt, and a cravat. The background is a plain circle on aged paper, with the name "Dr. Dick" inscribed at the bottom.
