Early American Portrait of a Young Man
If you would like to have the perfect man hanging around your home, we've got him. Tall (potentially), dark, very handsome and easy to get along with, this appealing portrait of a nattily dressed man is beautifully rendered.

The carved frame with gilded border is period and likely original to the painting. Oil on canvas, 30" l., 28" w. framed. American, c. 1820-1840 SOLD
