Amerikanische Malerei 1803–1815, 1814

This artwork is a portrait showing the upper body of a man turned slightly to his left. He has light, curly hair and a calm expression on his face. He is dressed in a formal black coat with a high-collared white shirt underneath. The background is a dark, muted color, which contrasts with his light complexion and clothing, drawing attention to his face. The overall composition is simple and focuses on the subject.
