Portrait of a Man is a 1810 unspecified by Anson Dickinson, a American Folk Art work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This oval portrait shows a man in a black coat with a white cravat. His dark hair is neatly styled, and he wears a serious expression. The background is a soft, pale blue with faint hints of clouds or sky. The painting is framed in a metal rim with a decorative edge, almost like a locket. The colors are muted, with the man’s face standing out against the light background. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
Anson Dickinson (19 April 1779 – 9 March 1852) was an American painter of miniature portraits who achieved fame during his lifetime, producing a very large number of works, but who is now largely forgotten.
