A distinguished gentleman in formal black morning dress sits with composed authority, his hand resting on the arm of a chair as he gazes toward the camera with penetrating intensity. The black and white photograph captures fine detail across his weathered face and tailored suit, rendered with the classical portraiture approach of mid-twentieth century studio photography. At home in a study, library, or space honoring historical figures and leadership. Gallery-wrapped on a wooden stretcher and made to order, ready to hang straight from the box.
