Dr. David Rogers

Amerikanische Malerei 1770–1790, 1788

The image shows an upper-body portrait of a seated man. He is positioned in an angled chair, facing slightly to his right. His facial features include a composed expression, a narrow nose, and focused eyes, with a prominent forehead framed by his powdered, shoulder-length hair. The man is dressed in a brown coat with large buttons over a pale waistcoat and a white, ruffled shirt. He holds a book in his left hand, resting it on the arm of the chair. The chair is upholstered in red fabric with a gold-studded trim. In the background, there is a bookcase filled with books, partially visible. The dark drapery provides contrast and depth to the setting.
