John McLean of Ohio is a 1832 by Albert Newsam, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white portrait shows a serious-looking man in a high-collared coat. His dark hair is neatly combed, and he gazes straight ahead with a calm expression. The artist used soft shading to highlight his face against a plain background. The name "John McLean of Ohio" is written below the image, suggesting this is a political figure. The style looks polished, typical of early 19th-century American portraits. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
