About the piece
Painted by the preeminent English portraitist Joshua Reynolds around 1774, this work depicts the statesman and philosopher Edmund Burke. The sitter is presented in a classic three-quarter profile, his thoughtful expression and the rich crimson of his coat set against a deep, moody background.
