About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark suit with a white shirt and bow tie. His face is serious, with a mustache and goatee. A medal sits on his left lapel, and the background is a plain, dark circle. The artist painted his subject with soft but clear brushstrokes, focusing on the face and clothing details. This style was common in late 19th-century portrait work.
