About the piece

Painted by Joshua Reynolds around 1766, this portrait of General John Burgoyne captures the British officer in a moment of poised confidence. Dressed in a vibrant scarlet uniform and buff waistcoat, the subject stands against a turbulent, clouded sky, his hand resting on his sword hilt—a classic example of British Grand Style portraiture.
