- Notes: Note: This charming portrait depicts a man in sumptuous surroundings, including fine furniture, velvet curtains, and a bookshelf filled with volumes. All of these elements serve to indicate the sitter's wealth and education. The furniture, which includes a popular "gondola chair" and a center table similar to those made by J. and J.W. Meeks of New York, illustrates that the sitter has both the money and the good taste to obtain these fashionable items. The sheer number of books denotes the man's affluence as well, while also demonstrating his commitment to learning and education.
