Portrait of Thomas Paine by John Wesley Jarvis, c. 1806–1807. Paine is shown bust-length, turned slightly to one side, his gaze meeting the viewer with a direct look. His face is lined with age — high forehead, prominent cheekbones, and deep-set eyes. He wears a dark coat over a waistcoat, with a white cravat neatly tied at his throat. His hair, thinning and swept back, is rendered in soft, light strokes, possibly a powdered style or simply greying with age. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine#/media/File:Thomas_Paine_A16220.jpg
