Amerikanische Malerei 1790–1801, 1793/1794

The artwork is a portrait of a man seated, showing his upper body. He is positioned slightly to the side, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has light gray hair styled in an 18th-century fashion. His facial features include a fair complexion with a blush on his cheeks. He is wearing a dark, buttoned coat with a white cravat. His hands are clasped together in front of him, resting on his lap. On the table beside him is a quill in an inkwell and some papers, covered by a red cloth. The background is a plain, dark brown.
