DescriptionThree-quarter length full-faced portrait of Horace Bushnell, painted by an unknown artist, and depicting the subject in middle age. He is seated in a high back red arm chair, his hair and sideburns slightly gray. He is wearing a maroon and black dressing gown over a black suit, white shirt, and white bow tie. His left arm rests on the arm of the chair; his right hand, holding a quill pen, rests on a pad of paper on a green-topped table. The right background is a dark green drape, revealing at the left background shelves partially filled with books.
