About the piece
Painted in 1747 by Francis Hayman, this portrait depicts Dr. Charles Chauncey in a moment of poised contemplation. He wears a luxurious, patterned blue banyan, a type of informal robe favored by the 18th-century elite, and stands on a tiled terrace beside a classical bust and balustrade.
