Untitled c. 1860s

This *Untitled* portrait, created by Jeremiah Gurney around the 1860s, depicts a man in a formal pose, wearing a dark suit and bowtie. The subject's serious expression and the oval format are typical of 19th-century portraiture, capturing a sense of formality and refinement. The soft, tonal qualities of the work, rendered in a realistic style, are reminiscent of Gurney's earlier work, showcasing his talent for capturing detail and expression. This artwork, housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a valuable example of American portraiture from the mid-19th century.
