Sydrach Simpson is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in old-fashioned clothes. He has a white collar, a dark coat with buttons, and his hands rest on what looks like a small book or paper. A dark curtain or cloth drapes behind him, adding shadow to the image. The text below his name says he was a teacher and preacher. This print was made by a London printer in the early 1800s.
