Benjamin Franklin, retrato em meia-tinta de Edward Fisher, 1763

Um homem mais velho sentado, com casaco abotoado, gravata branca e cabelo empoado, segura um papel enrolado enquanto a outra mão repousa sobre uma mesa. Atrás dele há uma cortina, lâmpadas e um quadro emoldurado com um navio; os tons suaves em preto e cinza da meia-tinta preenchem a folha, com uma inscrição na margem inferior.
