This painting shows a man sitting in a chair, dressed in a dark suit with a white shirt and a black bow tie. He has a long white beard and is holding a piece of paper in his right hand. The background is dark, with a curtain on the left side. The man's face is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. His suit is formal, and he wears a small pin on his lapel. The paper in his hand appears to be a letter or a document. This painting is a portrait of General John Blackburne Woodward, held at the Brooklyn Museum.
