Mr. Kline c. 1808

"Mr. Kline" is a portrait by American artist Jacob Eichholtz, painted circa 1808. The painting depicts a young man, possibly a member of the Kline family, in a profile view, a popular style of portraiture during the 18th and 19th centuries. The sitter is dressed in a black suit, with a white cravat, and his face is rendered with meticulous detail, indicative of Eichholtz's skill as a portraitist. This small-scale portrait, measuring 22.7 x 17.6 cm, exemplifies Eichholtz's focus on capturing individual likeness and reflecting the fashion trends of the early 19th century.
