Artist, Welsh, 1750 - 1824

The image depicts a man from the waist up. He faces slightly to the right, with his gaze directed towards the viewer. The man has light-colored, curly hair styled neatly, falling just above his collar. His features include a youthful face with fair skin, eyebrows, and lips. He wears historical attire: a deep blue coat with brass buttons, a white waistcoat, and a white cravat tied at the neck. The background shows an indistinct, neutral-toned wall that suggests an interior space.
