Cool style dude.
The angular lines of his face and slender wrist protruding from over-sized cuff suggests the near-starvation this impoverished writer underwent. His stance is still West Point cadet, but the droop of the head and the far-away expression of the eyes suggests a man near the breaking point. There is much charm in him yet, an elegance befitting a gentleman poet and an intellect of the aesthete. The dark tones of his thread-bare suit--with your inclusion of strings attached--and his unruly hair, contrasted with the light of unpressed shirt and striped vest, are true to actual descriptions of Poe.
The most striking, and symbolic, element of this composition is the red cravat with two red tails pointing downward to his own red-tinged tales. Noose-like, and by its coloration, the cravat symbolizes the constraints put upon this under-appreciated writer, and the blood of a "white plague" which haunted his realm since early childhood. Lines bold, and sparse shading, are equally well-placed.
This is a masterful illustrative work, and an evocative tribute to our finest man of literature.
