About the piece
Created in 1779 by artist John Francis Rigaud, this oil painting depicts Captain Robert Man in his formal naval attire. The work exemplifies 18th-century British portraiture, skillfully contrasting the refined, illuminated details of the officer's uniform with a brooding maritime environment and classical sailing vessels.
