About the piece
This 1750 portrait by John Wollaston the Younger captures the dignified presence of an 18th-century gentleman, potentially John Stevens. Rendered in oil on canvas, the subject is presented within a traditional painted oval border, a classic compositional device that emphasizes the rich textures of his silk waistcoat and deep blue coat.
