The portrait exudes a sense of timeless elegance as Carter's bearded face gazes confidently into the distance. Dressed in his finest attire, Carter's clothing reflects the fashion trends of 19th century America. His cravat is meticulously tied, adding a touch of sophistication to his ensemble. With one hand tucked inside his coat, he strikes a pose that exudes both confidence and mystery. Kittell's skillful use of oil on canvas brings out every intricate detail, from the texture of Carter's clothes to the subtle nuances in his facial expression. This painting serves as a testament to Kittell's mastery in capturing not only physical appearances but also the essence and personality of his subjects.
