About the piece
This masterful oil painting, executed around 1770, captures Joshua Henshaw in a moment of quiet dignity. John Singleton Copley’s characteristic attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the sitter's heavy wool coat and the luminous crimson drapery, creating a work with significant presence and historical weight.
