This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in old-fashioned clothes. He wears a white wig, a dark coat with fancy gold buttons, and a high collar. His hands rest on the arms of his chair, and there’s a small crest or coat of arms below his name. The print is signed by S. Kersting, who worked in 1801. The text calls him "The Right Honourable John Earl of Clare, Lord High Chancellor of Ireland." Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
