About the piece

Painted around 1800 by the renowned British portraitist William Beechey, this oil on canvas captures a man of status in the fashionable attire of the era. The subject is depicted in a high white stock and a dark coat adorned with intricate gold braiding, his gaze directed off-canvas with a quiet confidence that reflects the formal elegance of the period.
