This painting shows a man in a dark coat. His face is sharp and well-lit against the shadows. The background is plain, so all focus stays on him. It copies an earlier work by C.H. Hodges. That means this version is a print turned back into paint. Subtle brushwork makes the coat look thick and real. Check out the Museum of Ethnography where this hangs.
