Amerikanische Malerei 1720–1765, c. 1725

The artwork depicts a full-length portrait of a man standing. He has a pale complexion, with light, shoulder-length hair. He wears a long, dark red coat with gold buttons, a white cravat, and matching knee-length breeches. His stockings are light blue, and he wears black shoes with buckles. The man holds a small bouquet of flowers in his right hand. A small dog stands at his feet. The background is a dark, solid color, and the floor is a checkered pattern in shades of blue and white.
