National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a person from the chest upward in profile view. The individual is facing to the right, with distinct facial features, including a pronounced nose and a sideward gaze. The person's hair is styled in an elegant, curled fashion with the back tied simply. They are dressed in a formal coat with large buttons and an upturned collar, and a cravat tied around the neck. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is a simple, textured gradient.
