A vertically oriented oil painting in thick brushstrokes depicts Senator Thomas Hart Benton, a man with light skin tone. He turns slightly to our left, with dark, wavy hair and a set mouth. He wears a high-collared white shirt, a large knotted white neckcloth, and a black jacket that emerges from a dark, muted background. Light from our left illuminates his face, while his right hand rests at the bottom left.
