This silhouette, created between 1840 and 1845 by G. Bonner, depicts an unknown young man in a top hat. The silhouette, a popular form of portraiture in the 19th century, emphasizes the subject's profile against a light background. This artwork, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the delicate and precise technique of silhouette artistry, capturing the subject's form in a simple, yet elegant, manner.
