The subject is a Union general associated with Gettysburg, the Pennsylvania town where the Army of the Potomac and Robert E. Lee's Confederate forces fought from July 1 to 3, 1863. The battle left the town and surrounding farms scarred and is widely seen as a turning point in the Civil War in the East. Officers of the Union army were photographed and sketched often in the years that followed, as Gettysburg became central to how the war was remembered. Specific details about this sitter and the date are not given here, so the picture is best read as a window onto that place and period.
