This portrait features a man with long, dark hair and a red robe over a white shirt. The background is a solid, dark color. The man's face is turned slightly to the left, and his expression is neutral. His eyes are cast downward, and his eyebrows are furrowed slightly. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to look up Jonathan Richardson.
