Portrait of a Soldier

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man standing upright in a studio setting. He is facing the camera with his arms relaxed by his sides. The man has curly hair, a mustache, and is wearing a tall, dark fur hat. He is dressed in a buttoned, dark suit with matching trousers and dark shoes. The background shows a painted scene with a column and a tree, creating an outdoor setting appearance in an indoor photograph. No visible jewelry or objects are present.
