Picture of Michael Brown CarrollEntry/Object ID
1962.001.0005Description
This is a lovely color oval portrait of Michael Brown Carroll of Susquehanna as a young man. The brushwork is very fine and detailed. In the style of the times, his dark hair was brushed up and forward, with small, slightly curled fringes of hair on his forehead. He had muttonchop sideburns, not bushy, that came down just below the level of his mouth. He had light blue or gray eyes and a pleasant expression, although he was not specifically smiling. He wore a very high white stock collar that came to his chin and ears and had a small bow, a white vest and a black coat with a deep fold over collar and gold buttons. The background of the portrait is a soft gray. The portrait is set in a simple dull "gold" colored frame with a full metal back and a double metal loop at the top with a small round ball on top of the loops. The metal frame is placed in an indentation in a pillowed deep maroon velvet frame with a folding back support. CAUTION: gravity will cause the metal frame will fall away from the velvet frame if the piece is turned over
