"Carter, the Colorman" is a red chalk drawing by English artist Charles Beale, dating to 1675-1685. The drawing depicts the profile of a man with long, flowing hair, possibly Carter, a colorman or pigment dealer. The work is a fine example of Beale's skill in capturing detail and expression, and is characteristic of the portraiture prevalent in 17th-century England. The artwork is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
