About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a man in a formal portrait. He’s wearing a red coat with gold buttons and a white cravat, plus a fancy gold sash over one shoulder. His hair is powdered and styled neatly, and he has a serious expression. The photo looks old, with a dark, oval frame that makes the man stand out. The lighting is simple, focusing on his face and clothes. This portrait is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
