On offer is an original portrait of a dapper yet dignified young gentleman, perfectly confident in both his direct gaze at the viewer and the elegance of his attire. There’s the shapely dark coat over a distinctive tartan waistcoat and a white shirt with a black pinned cravat. A gold watch chain is visible, and a small flower is pinned to his lapel. This style of dress reflects the masculine aesthetic of the period. As such, this work is very characteristic of American folk-art portraiture, which often featured just such a direct gaze and rich colors with meticulous attention to the sitter's clothing to convey the subject's social standing and refinement. Well placed in your home, perhaps he might inspire your own personal presentation.
Signature: Nonexistent. Offered unframed.
