This painting shows a man in a tall black top hat and long dark coat. He stands with one hand on his hip and the other holding a cane. His face is serious, and he wears a bow tie and vest. The background is a plain wall with a wooden door and railing. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the painting a rough, sketchy feel. This style was common in the early 1800s. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this painting fits into that movement.
