About this work

The painting shows a man, Reuben Lindsay, from the side. He's looking straight ahead, not at us. The portrait is detailed, with intricate lines and shading. His face is the main focus, with the background faded out. I don't know much about the artist or the story behind this painting. You can learn more about the technique used to create this portrait at the museum: National Gallery of Art, Washington.
