About the piece
Painted in 1779 by Henry Robert Morland, this intimate portrait depicts his son, the celebrated painter George Morland, as he works at his easel. The composition is notable for the sophisticated play of light across the subject's features and the vibrant contrast of the red waistcoat against a deep, moody background, epitomizing the elegance of late 18th-century British portraiture.
