Portrait of a Man in Red

Amerikanische Malerei 1770–1790, kb. 1785/1790

The image shows a man from the waist up, sitting with his body slightly facing left and his head turned towards the viewer. He has a long face, defined features, fair complexion, and dark hair framing his face and extending to his shoulders with a straight fringe across his forehead. He is wearing a red coat with gold buttons over a white high-collared shirt, holding a closed book in his right hand. The background is plain with earthy tones and a subtle texture, emphasizing the figure. A dark chair is partially visible behind him on the left side of the image.
