Retrato en mezzotinta de un hombre mayor sentado, con abrigo abotonado y cabello empolvado, sosteniendo un papel, con cortina y lámparas al fondo.

Benjamín Franklin, retrato en mezzotinta de Edward Fisher, 1763

Un hombre mayor sentado, con abrigo abotonado, corbatín blanco y cabello empolvado, sostiene un papel enrollado mientras su otra mano descansa sobre una mesa. Detrás hay una cortina, lámparas y un cuadro enmarcado con un barco; los suaves tonos negros y grises de la mezzotinta llenan la hoja, con una inscripción en el margen inferior.
