Portrait of a Man

Frederick Langenheim, William Langenheim

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait of a man from the torso up. He is in a three-quarter stance, with crossed arms and a composed expression. His facial features are defined, with a serious look, angular jaw, high cheekbones, straight nose, and dark, combed-back hair. He wears a dark suit with a white shirt and cravat. The background is plain, and the portrait is in a yellowed, aged frame with dark spots and a red border, hinting at an older photograph like a daguerreotype.
