? Thanks, Randy
 
Welcome From THE Heart Of Dixie. I don't have a clue to his ID, great photo though.
 
Welcome from the Researching Your Civil War Ancestry forum! Can you tell us anything more about the portrait? Facts like - where you found it, any writing on the back, info that might be on the frame - the more you can share about it the better we can figure out who it is.
 
From the apparent black facing on his frock coat he may well have been a Confederate surgeon, which position carried the rank of major; if so, @lelliott19 is the person here most likely to be able to possibly recognize him.

Good luck and welcome to the forums!
 
I put the painting through civil war photo sleuth and this is one of the result. The result was Ambrose Hill, he fits the rank description, hope it helps.

Sorry - it's NOT A. P. Hill, who was a colonel only a very short time and never in the CSA Medical Department.
