About the piece
This 1741 oil portrait by Arthur Devis captures a gentleman in a striking blue coat and buff waistcoat, leaning casually against a cannon. Set within a soft, atmospheric landscape, the work exemplifies the refined 'conversation piece' style of Georgian England, blending formal status with a naturalistic setting.
