John Temple

Amerikanische Grafik 1765–1814, 1765

The image is a portrait of a man, focusing on his head and shoulders. He is positioned slightly to the side, with his body angled but his face turned towards the viewer. The man has light, possibly powdered, hair styled neatly and slightly curled back. His facial features are strong and refined, with a fair complexion, blue eyes, and a slight smile. He is wearing a formal, dark brown coat with a standing collar and decorative trim, over a white shirt or cravat and a blue waistcoat. Large buttons are visible on the coat. The background is a muted, dark brown. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held.
