Amerikanische Malerei 1790–1801, um 1800

This artwork depicts a full-body portrait of a man standing indoors. He is dressed in a long black robe with a high collar and holds an open book in his hands. The man has light hair and a serious expression. To his left, there is a white swan standing on a checkered floor of blue and brown tiles. Behind him, a wooden desk is cluttered with books and writing materials, including a quill and inkpot. A large, elaborately upholstered chair is positioned nearby. The background features a bookshelf filled with more books and a window draped with rich blue curtains adorned with tassels. Near the base of the bookshelf, there is a large, prominently displayed book titled "Holy Bible."
