Joshua Johnson, American (active Baltimore), active 1797-1825 – Portrait of Edward Asquith Philadelphia Museum of Art

The picture has something of this: people, portrait, leader, administration, wear, man, politician, chair, outfit, indoors, side view, facial expression, neckwear, education, school, confidence, business.
Perhaps it’s a close up of a painting of a man in a black suit and white shirt holding a piece of paper in one hand and a book in the other hand.
