About the piece
Painted around 1750 by Robert Feke, this distinguished portrait captures Judge Richard Saltonstall in a pose of classic authority. The artist demonstrates remarkable skill in the tactile rendering of the subject's brown velvet coat and opulent gold-embroidered waistcoat, contrasting the formal figure against a soft, atmospheric landscape of rolling hills and clouds.
