About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with short, wavy hair and a serious expression. His face is turned slightly to the side, and the lines around his eyes and mouth are carefully drawn. The background is plain, with just a few faint strokes to suggest fabric at his collar. The name "Wilson Lowry" is written below the image, along with some titles that likely mean he was a respected figure. The artist’s signature and the date 1825 are also noted, but the print itself looks like an engraving rather than a painted portrait. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this portrait in person.
