About the piece
Painted around 1790 by Sir William Beechey, this striking oil portrait depicts Charles Small Pybus. The work showcases the artist's skill in rendering delicate textures, from the soft curls of the subject's hair to the intricate lace of his cravat, set against a rich, brooding background that adds a sense of timeless dignity and gallery presence.
