About the piece
Painted around 1775 by Francis Wheatley, this oil portrait depicts Mr. Bentley in a moment of repose. Dressed in a dignified grey-blue suit with breeches and silk stockings, he leans comfortably against an ancient tree while his spaniel waits patiently at his feet, creating a timeless scene of English country life.
