The image is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection and belongs to the 19th-century genre of albumen silver prints. In this portrait, Smirke exudes an air of confidence and professionalism befitting his esteemed occupation. His gaze is steady, reflecting years of experience and expertise in his field. With his neatly groomed beard and refined attire, he epitomizes the Victorian gentleman. The composition highlights Smirke's strong facial features against a simple backdrop, allowing viewers to focus on his character rather than any distractions. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. As one examines this image closely, it becomes evident that John & Charles Watkins were masters at capturing not only their subjects' physical appearance but also their essence as individuals.
