This 1863 portrait by E. Andrews depicts a man identified as "Uncle Jim". The subject is formally dressed, standing in front of a chair and table with a book lying on it. The image is a classic example of a formal portrait, a genre popular throughout the 19th century, and is presented within a matted oval frame. This small-scale portrait, measuring just 86 mm in height and 51 mm in width, suggests that it might have been part of a larger album or family collection.
