Portrait of a Cooper

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated, facing forward with his hands resting on his lap holding a hammer-like object. He is wearing a long-sleeve shirt with an apron and trousers. A wooden chair supports him, with a large barrel beside him. The background is an intricately designed studio backdrop with ornate patterns, columns, and a vase. The photograph exhibits signs of age like scratches and worn edges.
