This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man in a dark coat and white shirt. He sits with one hand resting on an open book, while the other holds a pair of glasses. His face is serious but calm, with short gray hair and a neatly tied cravat. The photo looks like it was taken in the early 1800s, judging by the clothing. The book and glasses suggest he was someone who read or studied. If you like this style, check out Romanticism.
