An oil on canvas painting measuring approximately 17 inches high and 20 3/4 inches wide, with an image size of 14 inches high and 17 3/4 inches wide, depicting a seated gentleman in a dark coat and light waistcoat. The composition includes a table with books and exhibits the provincial portrait style common in antebellum America, featuring a sober palette and naturalistic modeling. The artwork shows some paint chips and discoloration, as well as a repair along the chair's right side. The painting is in its original unlined canvas condition and is presented in a wooden frame.
