About the piece
This 1778 portrait by George Romney captures the quiet dignity of a gentleman from the Georgian era. Rendered with the luminous skin tones and confident brushwork characteristic of Romney's celebrated style, the subject is presented in a classic three-quarter view against a dark, atmospheric background that emphasizes the light playing across his features.
