About the piece
This elegant oil portrait by Philip Jean depicts George Phillips Towry around 1800. Dressed in a navy coat with prominent brass buttons and a crisp white cravat, the subject is rendered with a classic sense of dignity against a deep, atmospheric background featuring a subtle window view to a distant sea.
