A charming unusual 19th Century American pastel, c1850. Original maple frame with a lovely original barley twist insert, light age related wear to the frame, the pastel is in extremely good condition with no stains, marks, just one tiny tiny little scratch to the bottom left side of his jacket, (tiny) and certainly does not detract from this interested chap. This is even too small to photograph, if you scroll over the first picture with your cursor you will see a small dot type mark to the bottom left on the black jacket.
