Portrait of a Leather Worker

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image features a man from the waist up, seated and facing the camera. He is holding a long, curved object and appears to be engaged in a task. The man has a strong jawline, a well-defined mustache, and dark, neatly combed hair. He is wearing a light-colored shirt with rolled-up sleeves under a pinstriped apron and a thin tie around his neck. The setting has a plain background suggesting a studio portrait, and the picture is enclosed in an ornate frame with floral patterns.
