Edwin Forrest

Amerikanische Malerei 1870–1877, 1871

The image is a portrait of a man showing the upper half of his body, positioned slightly turned to one side. He has a serious expression with a prominent mustache and slightly disheveled dark hair that appears to be thinning at the crown. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a black coat over a white shirt with a high collar and a black bow tie. A gold hoop in the buttonhole of his coat adds a small note of detail. The background is a simple, softly shaded neutral color.
