Mathew B. Brady

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a man from the waist up. He is seated, with his body slightly turned to one side and his head facing forward. The man has medium-length wavy hair that falls around his ears and a beard with a mustache. He is wearing round wire-rimmed glasses, a dark suit jacket over a white shirt, and a dark bow tie. The jacket is buttoned, and a chain is visible across his vest. The background is plain and neutral. The border at the bottom of the photograph includes the photographer's name, "Brady," and the location, "New York."
