About the piece
Painted by Nehemiah Partridge around 1720, this striking portrait depicts a gentleman known as Mr. Willson. Dressed in a rich terracotta-colored coat and crisp white cravat, the subject is rendered with the characteristic formality of the Colonial American era, complemented by a symbolic seafaring scene on the horizon.
