Terrific + plate shows this clear-eyed young man looking straight at us with his almond eyes. His curls droop down over his ears beneath the hat. A large stickpin penetrates his tie. His light vest is wonderfully rendered with its texture and pink sheen not solarized as would be expected. His hands at his waist provoke. Slight haze over the lower right corner. This is on a "Meade Brothers Importers" plate, in a nice complete case with floral design.
