About the piece
Painted in 1743 by Joseph Highmore, this formal portrait captures Charles Penruddocke in a dignified three-quarter length pose. The work demonstrates the artist's skill in rendering the soft textures of lace cuffs and the subtle sheen of a dark green wool coat against a moody, atmospheric background.
