Portrait of a Cigar Maker

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man from the waist up, seated and facing slightly to the left. His posture is relaxed with one hand resting on a table and the other on his lap. He has dark hair that is styled in waves, along with a neatly groomed mustache. He is dressed in a light-colored shirt with intricate detailing, a dark vest, and a bow tie. In front of him, there is a table covered with a patterned cloth, and a small pile of leaves or greenery is visible. The background is plain, and the photo is set in a decorative frame with intricate designs around its edge.
