About the piece
Painted in 1767 by Joseph Wright of Derby, this striking full-length portrait features a man in exoticized military dress, wearing a green coat with gold frogging and a white turban. He stands confidently against a gnarled tree, with a distant ship on the horizon suggesting a maritime or colonial context, rendered with the artist's characteristic attention to light and texture.
