About this work

The image depicts a man standing in front of a plain background, wearing a long coat and holding a hat in his left hand. He has long hair and is looking directly at the viewer. The man is standing on a dirt path, with a few rocks and a piece of wood nearby. He appears to be a merchant, possibly a linen merchant, given the title of the engraving. The engraving is done in a romantic style, with intricate details and shading. It is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
