About the piece

Painted in 1792 by Heinrich Christian Friedrich Hosenfelder, this portrait depicts young James Collett with a mixture of formality and childhood playfulness. The boy is elegantly dressed in a striped suit and a wide ruffled collar, crowned by a large black hat. The inclusion of a small toy horse on the table beside him adds a tender, narrative element to this masterfully executed oil painting.
