The entire piece measures 32 1/2 x 39 in. Canvas only measures 27 1/4 x 33 1/4 in. It appears to be signed with the initial J at the bottom right. The painting is in good as is vintage condition with a old professional repair at the center , only seen from the reverse. It also has mild in-painting and crazing/craquelure throughout the piece. The painting itself appears to be 1840-50s item period and the frame is probably 1920-30s. Please notice the faint outline of a steamboat at the side right middle, the man posing with his hand on a few books. Signifying he was a learned man. The honest , simple manner in which he was painted displays a delightful example of Americana folk art. Please enlarge all pictures to judge condition to your own standards.
