Portrait of a Gentleman 1810 - 1884

"Portrait of a Gentleman" is an 1810-1884 miniature portrait by Moses B. Russell, a prominent American painter who specialized in portraiture. The artwork depicts a young man with a serious expression, dressed in formal attire, and is currently part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Though small in size, measuring only 2 3/4 x 2 1/8 in., this miniature captures a sense of realism and dignity that was characteristic of Russell's style.
