Beautifully painted and pleasant looking businessman dressed in navy blue and shades of indigo, seated at his desk. Look at how well the artist has painted his hands and his 3 piece suit. On the desk are what I think might be travel pamphlets and maps? And behind him on the wall there is a poster that says, New Orleans Mardi Gras. I’d book a trip with him; he looks honest.

Portrait in oil on canvas.

Painting is signed by artist, Emily Burling Waite.
