"Portrait of a Dark-haired Gentleman with Pen and Bible" is a notable work by the American folk artist Ammi Phillips, who is renowned for his prolific career as a portrait painter in the early 19th century. Phillips, born in 1788 in Colebrook, Connecticut, and active until his death in 1865, is celebrated for his distinctive style that captures the essence of rural American life during his era. This particular portrait exemplifies Phillips' ability to convey the character and status of his sitters through meticulous attention to detail and composition.

The painting features a dark-haired gentleman, seated and holding a pen in one hand and a Bible in the other, which are symbolic elements that suggest the subject's literacy, piety, and possibly his profession or social standing. The gentleman's attire, characterized by a dark suit and white shirt, further emphasizes his respectable and dignified appearance. Phillips' use of a subdued color palette and the careful rendering of textures, such as the fabric of the clothing and the pages of the Bible, highlight his technical skill and the influence of the American folk art tradition.

Phillips' portraits are often noted for their directness and simplicity, yet they possess a depth that reveals the personality and inner life of the sitter. "Portrait of a Dark-haired Gentleman with Pen and Bible" is no exception, as it captures a moment of introspection and intellectual engagement. This work, like many of Phillips' portraits, provides valuable insight into the cultural and social milieu of early 19th-century America, making it an important piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of American folk art.
