Gouverneur Kemble

Amerikanische Malerei 1850–1857, 1853

The image shows the upper half of a seated man. He is positioned slightly angled to the right and looking directly at the viewer. The man has a stern expression, characterized by his prominent brow and deep-set eyes. His hair is light brown with some natural curl, extending just below his ears. He is dressed in formal attire, including a dark coat, a cream-colored waistcoat, a white shirt, and a black cravat. His hands rest on his lap, one hand holding a pair of spectacles. A gold chain hangs from a pocket of his waistcoat. The background is a dark, muted shade that contrasts with the warm tones of the chair and his clothing.
