About the piece
This full-length portrait by Joseph Wright of Derby depicts Colonel Charles Heathcote in 1771. Clad in a brilliant red uniform and leaning with practiced ease against a weathered tree, the Colonel is presented as both a man of command and a figure of the Enlightenment, integrated into the wild beauty of the English landscape.
