Stephen Van Rensselaer III

Portrait américain, 1793/1795

This painting is a portrait of a man. He is seated on a red cushioned chair, turned slightly to the left, facing us. He has a pale complexion and a neutral expression, with dark eyebrows, rosy cheeks, and thin lips. His hair is gray, with curls falling to the sides around his ears. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark red, double-breasted coat with large golden button and a white cravat around his neck. The man holds a pair of tan gloves in his left hand, and in front of him is a piece of red furniture covered with a red cloth. The background is a muted brown gradient.
