"Portrait of a Young Man Holding a Book" is a notable work by the American artist John Brewster Jr. (1766–1854), created circa 1825. This oil on canvas painting is a fine example of Brewster's artistic prowess and is particularly significant as it exemplifies the style and cultural context of early 19th-century American portraiture. Brewster, one of the most prominent deaf artists in American history, was known for his ability to capture the subtleties of expression and character in his subjects, which often included well-to-do individuals and their families.

The painting depicts a young man, elegantly dressed in the fashion of the period, holding a book—a common symbol of education and status during the time. The subject's attire and the inclusion of the book suggest that he is a person of learning or refinement, possibly a member of the burgeoning American middle or upper class. The portrait is characterized by Brewster's use of soft, diffused lighting and a muted palette, which lends the work a serene and contemplative atmosphere.

As with many of Brewster's portraits, the young man's gaze is particularly striking, engaging the viewer with a directness that was a hallmark of Brewster's sensitive approach to his sitters. The artist's attention to detail in the rendering of the young man's features and clothing, as well as the skillful depiction of the book, demonstrate Brewster's mastery of the medium and his ability to convey texture and depth.

"Portrait of a Young Man Holding a Book" is an important piece within Brewster's oeuvre, offering insights into the artist's technique and the social mores of the era. It stands as a testament to Brewster's talent and his significant contribution to the tradition of American portraiture. The painting is also a valuable cultural artifact, reflecting the educational and societal values of early 19th-century America.
