J. M. Carlisle is a 1874 ink by E. G. Williams & Bros., a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black engraving on wove paper, depicting a man with curly hair and a beard. He's wearing a dark jacket over a vest and white shirt, with a black bow tie. The background is plain. The man's face is turned slightly to the left, and his expression is serious. His hair is neatly combed, and his beard is well-groomed. The engraving is detailed, with fine lines and textures that give it a realistic look. If you're interested in learning more about the technique used to create this engraving, you might want to look up cross-hatching.
