George Pope Morris

Amerikanische Malerei 1835–1840, c. 1836

The image shows a man's upper body in a formal portrait setting. He is depicted sitting or standing upright with his head turned slightly to the right, directly facing the viewer. The man has fair skin, distinct facial features including a full face with a slight smile and prominent cheeks. His hair is dark, thick, and curly, framing his face neatly. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark coat and a white shirt with a high collar, complemented by a black bow tie. There is a hint of a gold chain peeking from beneath his coat. The background is a plain, dark brown.
