The painting shows a man sitting in a chair. He's wearing old-fashioned clothes and looks serious. The subject of this painting is interesting because it's a portrait of a historical figure. The man in the painting is Wilson Cary Nicholas, a person from American history. He played a role in the country's early years. To learn more about this style of portrait, look at the work of artist: Gilbert Stuart (American, 1755–1828).
