This painting is a portrait of a man in a red jacket and white shirt. He has short, white hair and is looking to his right. The background is dark. The man's face is pale, and his eyes are cast downward slightly. His jacket is open, revealing a white cravat underneath. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to look up George Hayter.
