This portrait is hanging in a relative's house. No markings on the back of piece. I tried reverse image search and couldn't find anything enlightening. Any information would be helpful. Leonard, Thomas, and Barnabus (probably joke). Thanks.

Well, the Bessemer process of manufacturing mild steel is circa 1850. The costume of this gentleman is closer to 1820-1830, so not too likely. But was the painting found in a region where there was an iron industry?
