Portrait of John Clark is a 1814 unspecified by William M. S. Doyle, a American Folk Art work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a small oval portrait of a man with short, dark hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a black coat over a white shirt with a high collar and a bow tie. The background is plain, keeping all the focus on his face. The painting looks soft and slightly faded, like it’s been handled a lot. The edges of the frame are made of metal, and the whole thing feels like something you’d keep on a desk. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works from this time.
