Mr. Baylor

Pittura afroamericana dell’Ottocento, circa 1805

The artwork depicts a seated man shown from the waist up. He is positioned slightly to the right, with his gaze directed outward. His facial features include light skin, a prominent chin, and reddish-brown hair styled upwards. He is wearing a dark coat over a white high-collared shirt. The man holds a quill pen in his right hand, poised above a paper with visible writing. The chair he is seated on has a simple wooden design. The background is a muted, dark brown color, which helps emphasize the subject.
