About the piece
Attributed to Thomas Barker around 1800, this oil painting portrays an elderly man with a dignified, weathered expression. Holding a gnarled staff, he is dressed in rustic attire that showcases Barker's skill in rendering tactile surfaces, from the coarse cloth of the jacket to the glint of the brass buttons.
