Description:
Visual description (AI-generated content): This vertical print shows the silhouette of a person standing in a doorway, gazing out of a window. The man appears to be dressed in formal attire from a historical period, with a coat and what looks like a high collar or cravat. He wears a white wig. He stands with his hands behind his back in a contemplative pose. The room contains elegant details, including parts of a decorative frame and a small linen-covered table on the left, and a curtain pulled to one side of the window on the right. Through the lower window panes, there appears to be tree foliage visible. The image has a sepia-toned, vintage appearance. Under the image line, on both sides is a small text identifying the artist on the left, and the publisher on the right. At the center of the bottom margin is the title of the work in capital letters “FELIX GRUNDY”. Other smaller text appears beneath it. (Audio file by Olena Davis)
