About the piece
Attributed to George Knapton and dated around 1740, this oil on canvas portrait exemplifies the elegance of the Georgian era. The sitter is depicted in a three-quarter view, his steady gaze complemented by the luminous textures of his powdered wig and the intricate gold bullion tassels adorning his rich brown coat.
