Portrait of a Man with a Cleft Lip is a 1824 unspecified by Anson Dickinson, a American Folk Art work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a small portrait of a man in a black coat and white shirt. His hair is curly, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The background is plain, with soft brushstrokes blending into light and shadow. The painting focuses on the man’s face, showing details like his buttoned coat and a small brooch. The artist paid close attention to his features, especially the light on his skin and hair. Look up Anson Dickinson next to see more of his work.
