Portrait of a Man

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up, facing the camera with his body slightly turned to his left. His facial features include prominent eyes and slightly parted lips, with a hint of a mustache visible, and short hair under his hat. He is wearing a striped shirt beneath a light-colored jacket and a wide-brimmed hat. The background is plain and dark. The image is framed by an ornate, gold-colored border with red edges.
