About the piece

Painted in 1789, this monumental portrait by the acclaimed Sir Joshua Reynolds depicts Francis Rawdon-Hastings in his role as a military leader. The work is defined by its bold use of color—most notably the sitter's vibrant scarlet coat and the matching drapery—and the confident, painterly handling that characterized Reynolds' Grand Manner style.
