Artist, American, 1742 - 1822

The image shows a full-length portrait of a man within an ornate decorative border. The man is in a three-quarter pose, facing slightly right with one hand on a table. He has a mustache and goatee, medium-length curled hair, and wears a detailed robe with a fur collar and patterns. He also wears a ruffled collar and holds gloves in his right hand, with a hat on the table next to him. The background has a simple wall pattern, and the portrait is enclosed within a highly detailed floral-patterned frame with swirling embellishments. The engraving appears aged.
