VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a black and white lithograph portrait of a man from the chest up. The subject is depicted with his head turned slightly to his right, giving the viewer a three-quarter view of his face. He has neatly combed hair parted on one side and styled in what appears to be typical fashion for men in the mid-19th century. His facial expression is serious, with a hint of sternness or intensity.
He wears what looks like period attire: a high-collared shirt or garment that drapes softly around his neck and shoulders, secured at the throat by what might be a brooch or decorative fastener. The details are fine enough to suggest some texture in both his clothing and hair.
The artwork itself shows delicate shading that captures contours of the face, including defined cheekbones, chin, and brow ridge. It's clear that this was created by an artist skilled in lithography—a printmaking technique used widely before photography became common.
Below the image on its left side (viewer's right), there seems to be an artist's signature followed by "del" which typically stands for delineavit (Latin for "he/she drew it"). On its right side (viewer's left) there may also be text related to printing or publication details such as "lith." indicating it’s a lithographic print.
Underneath the portrait is written text likely identifying either who he is supposed to represent or perhaps something about him; however, without clearer resolution or context I cannot provide specific information about these writings.
Overall, this piece conveys historical significance and craftsmanship indicative of portraiture art before modern photographic techniques were available.
