Kapitän Samuel Chandler

Amerikanische Malerei 1770–1790, um 1780

This painting shows a man seated, with his full body visible. His body is slightly turned to the right, but he looks out at us, one hand resting on his knee and the other holding a sword upright. The man has a serious expression, light skin, a square jawline, and high cheekbones. His hair is dark and styled neatly. He is wearing formal attire consisting of a blue coat with gold buttons, a yellow waistcoat with white frilled cuffs, and beige breeches with button details. His stockings are white, and his shoes are black with rectangular buckles. Nearby, on a table, rests a black tricorn hat with gold trim. The background features a window or painting depicting lines of soldiers, horses, and trees under a dark blue sky.
