Color-tinted studio portrait photograph of Canadian architect Robert Armour Bethune as a young man seated on a large rock against a softly painted backdrop resembling an outdoor landscape, circa 1880. He is the husband and architectural partner of the first female professional architect in the United States Louise Blanchard Bethune. Robert A. Bethune wears a dark suit, a white shirt, a bow tie, and a fur hat. One hand supports his chin while the other rests on his knee. The boots, the textured ground, and the hand-tinted color of the portrait suggest an older, studio-styled photograph.
