Description

That Biddle gave this portrait the title Howard indicates that this was an individual he knew, likely in the years that he lived in New York. Howard is a handsome young man who stirs his cup of espresso, holding saucer and teaspoon with grace. He is engaged in thought, observing and perhaps formulating a reply.
