Silhouette find from a thrift store

I bought this approximately 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch silhouette years ago in a Bardstown, Kentucky thrift store. It appears to be a cut out of black paper. It looks to be a man with a beard, bald on top with a row of hair and dressed in a 18 or 19th century style? Wonder who this gentleman is? What do you all think? All in all I think it is really cool.
