This painting is a portrait of a man from the waist up. His body is slightly turned to the right, but he looks directly at us. The man has pale skin, a sharp nose, high cheekbones, thin, red lips, and white hair swept back from his face. He wears a dark green coat with a wide, high collar and a white undershirt visible at the neck. The background is a rich, deep red drapery, with a yellow-brown color in the bottom right corner.

This painting features a woman from the waist up, her body angled slightly to the right, looking out at us. She has pale skin with rosy cheeks, blue eyes, arched gray eyebrows, and pink lips that are slightly upturned. Her curly gray hair is partially visible under a large straw-colored bonnet with a blue interior and a large blue bow. She wears a light blue garment with a darker blue neckline and a light brown shawl draped over her arms. Her left hand is taking off or putting on a light brown glove on her right hand. The background is mostly dark brown and olive-green tones, except for a blue patch near the bottom right corner that looks like a cloudy sky.

Portrait of a Man

American 19th Century · c. 1825 · oil on canvas ·  Accession ID  1947.17.61

Shown from the chest up, a pale-skinned, clean-shaven man wearing a sapphire-blue coat over a white cravat looks out from this vertical portrait painting. The man’s body is angled to our left, but he turns his face to look at us from the corners of his gray eyes. His smooth cheeks are flushed, and he smiles slightly. His white hair, probably a wig, sweeps back from his forehead and curls over his ears. His snow-white cravat is tied in a bow, and the pointed ends of the fabric fall over the wide lapels of his coat. The man is lit from our right, and a sheen on the high collar suggests velvet. Brass buttons gleam on the front of the coat. The background lightens from dark brown across the top to pale fawn brown along the bottom.

This painting shows two women seated on yellow-gold chairs in a room. The woman on the left appears young, with short brown hair and light skin. She is wearing a dark blue shirt and a red skirt, and she sits facing the right with a bundle of white fabric in her lap. The woman on the right is an older, with light skin, gray hair pulled back into a bun, glasses, a dark top, and a long skirt with a checkered pattern. She faces the left and looks closely at her hands, which are close together, perhaps holding something indistinct. The two women are both surrounded by bundles of fabric. The room includes white and yellow striped wallpaper, draped fabrics, and upholstered furniture. On the left is a vertical red structure, perhaps an open door or the edge of a canopy bed. The floor beneath the women is white with visible wood grain, and the ceiling is light gray.
