Artist, British, 1800 - 1877

The image shows a person seated under an archway, capturing their full body from a side angle. The person is sitting on some steps while slightly leaning back against a wall. They wear a dark hat, and a dark jacket over light-colored pants. Their facial features aren't distinctly visible due to the photograph's angle and lighting. They are positioned amidst an architectural structure, characterized by multiple arches covered in climbing ivy. Several windows can be seen above the arches. The ground around the structure is grassy. The scene is set in a sepia tone.
