This portrait shows a man in profile, facing left. He wears a tall black hat and a dark jacket with a high collar and a white shirt underneath. The background is a mottled brown color. The man's face is turned slightly towards the viewer, and his eyes seem to be looking into the distance. His hair is dark and curly, and he has a small beard and mustache. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet dignity and seriousness. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this portrait, you might want to look up George Hayter.
