The sitter is seated and facing the viewer. He wears a white shirt, a black cravat, a buttoned sea-foam green vest, and a black jacket. A long necklace hangs over his vest, and at its end is a red and gold pendant. His right hand graps a wood and metal cane. The background varies between shades of brown, white, and black.
Road to Blackwell, Merritt Mauzey, lithograph
In this black and white, round-format print, the scene is dominated by a wooden armature surroudning the ribs of a ship that is under construction. Five figures work throughout the composition on building the ship--three on the ground and two on the portion of the armature at the back right of the composition. At the bottom of the print is a still life that includes tools related to ship building, including wood and woodworking implements.
