This is a black-and-white photo of a man sitting in a chair. He’s wearing a dark suit with a high collar and a white shirt. His hands are clasped together, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The photo looks old, with a faded, oval border. The artist’s name, *Adrien Tournachon*, is signed in the corner. If you like this style, check out Realism for more portraits like this.
