Associated Names
Gertrude Käsebier

Artist, American, 1852 - 1934

The image shows a man standing with his hands in the pockets of his suit jacket, facing forward with a relaxed posture. The man appears to have a serene expression, with dark, neatly styled hair. He is wearing a dark suit, white dress shirt, and tie, typical of early 20th-century fashion. The background is a plain wall with visible stains and marks, and the edges of the image are worn and stained, giving it an antique look.
