This painting depicts a man sitting at a desk, holding papers in his right hand. He is dressed in a black jacket over a white shirt with a high collar, and his dark hair is neatly styled. The man's attire and the papers he holds suggest that he may be a professional or intellectual of some sort. The painting's style and composition are characteristic of early 19th-century portraiture. To learn more about the artist who created this work, look up Samuel Lovett Waldo.
