Mr. Davis (Mr. Mann)

About this work

This portrait features a man with a full beard and mustache, wearing a top hat and a long coat. He sits in a chair, facing the viewer with his head turned slightly to the right. His right hand rests on his lap, while his left hand holds a cane. The background is a wall with a window, and a piece of furniture is partially visible behind the subject. The man's attire and the style of the portrait suggest a formal setting, possibly a studio or a home. The artist's use of drypoint on laid paper creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The artist who created this portrait is Whistler, James McNeill.
