Thomas Paine

Amerikanische Malerei 1803–1815, c. 1806/1807

This painting is a portrait of a man. We see him from the chest up in a slightly angled pose, with his body turned slightly to the left and his head facing us. He has light skin, a large nose, thick gray eyebrows, and thin lips turned slightly upwards. His hair is gray and swept back. He is dressed in a dark jacket with a high collar over a white shirt with a cravat. The background is a plain dark brown color.
