A three-quarters length portrait of a standing male figure facing the proper left with his head turned to the viewer. His proper right hand is tucked into his pant pocket pushing his black jacket back. His other hand holds his spectacles. He is also wearing a cream-colored waistcoat, black pants, a black tie and a starched white shirt with the collar up around his neck. The man's facial features include a rotund face with a rosy complexion, long grey mustache around his mouth and white hair.
Thomas Henry Bowles, Gari Melchers, 1909, oil on canvas, Telfair Museum of Art, Savannah, Georgia.
