About this work

This is a sepia-toned portrait of a young man in a military uniform. His dark hair is long, and he wears a high-collared jacket with rows of buttons down the front. One hand rests on a sword leaning against a table, while the other holds a folded piece of paper. The background is plain, keeping focus on his serious expression. The name "Samuel Gridley Howe" is written at the top, hinted at by the faded text. The uniform suggests a formal or official role, possibly tied to military or leadership. Look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create dramatic effect in portraits.
