Dr. John Edwards Holbrook

Amerikanische Malerei 1850–1857, 1857

The image shows a portrait of an older man, visible from the chest upward, in a seated position, facing left in profile. His facial features include a strong, prominent nose, a firm chin, and a subtle expression with closed lips. His hair is gray, short, and brushed neatly backward. He is wearing a formal dark suit with a white shirt and a black bow tie. The background is a simple, warm-toned brown, free from any additional objects or details. There is no jewelry visible, and he does not appear to be holding anything.
