This is a classic portrait painting of an individual clothed in 19th-century attire. The subject is wearing a dark, formal coat with a velvet collar and a black cravat tied around the neck. A gold watch chain is visible just above the waist, hinting at the presence of a pocket watch. The attire suggests a sense of refinement and formality, characteristic of a certain social status of the time. On the lower left-hand side of the canvas, a signature and the year "1852" indicate when the painting was created. The style of the clothing, along with the signature, situates the painting historically and gives a sense of the period in which the subject lived. The background of the painting is restrained, with muted dark brown tones that highlight the figure without distraction.
