About the piece

A commanding full-length portrait by John Singleton Copley, depicting Henry Addington in his ornate robes as Speaker of the House of Commons. The work showcases Copley's late-century mastery of texture, from the intricate gold lace of the robes to the heavy velvet drapery, set against a stately classical backdrop that emphasizes his social and political standing.
