Timothy Matlack

Amerikanische Malerei 1803–1815, 1802

The artwork is a portrait showing a man from the waist up. He is seated and positioned slightly to the side, facing the viewer. The man has a solemn expression, with deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a strong jawline. His hair is dark and wavy, falling to his shoulders. He is wearing a beige coat over a buttoned vest and a white cravat. His hands are resting on a table, with one hand holding a quill pen, poised over a piece of paper. The background is plain and dark, which highlights the figure in the foreground.
