About the piece
Painted in 1869 by Edward Harrison May, this striking portrait depicts Isaac Merrit Singer, the famed sewing machine magnate. The work showcases masterful 19th-century realism, from the meticulous texture of the subject's impressive beard to the luminous, heavy folds of his decorative banyan robe in rich crimson and gold.
