About this work

This is a black-and-white print of a man in a dark suit and bow tie. His hair is wavy and combed back, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The background is plain, with just a few faint lines around his shoulders. The print’s style looks simple but precise, focusing on clear lines and shading. The name at the bottom reads *"The Late Mr. Samuel Lover"*, but we don’t know if that’s the subject or just a label. If you like this style, check out Realism next—it’s all about everyday people and honest details.
