About the piece
Painted by Thomas Hudson in 1756, this classic portrait depicts Charles Pinfold seated in an ornate gilded chair. The work showcases Hudson's mastery in rendering the tactile qualities of the sitter's blue velvet coat, intricate gold embroidery, and delicate lace cuffs, set against a warm, atmospheric background.
