Hon. Theophilus Parsons, Late Chief Justice of Massachusetts

An engraved portrait of a man with tousled hair, wearing a dark coat over a white cravat, shown bust-length against a shadowed background. Below the image, printed text names the sitter and his office, with a publication line in small type. The fine line work gives the figure a soft, graded tone.
