About the piece
Painted around 1795 by William Beechey, this portrait depicts John Greenwood junior with a thoughtful, slightly averted gaze. The work showcases the soft lighting and refined brushwork characteristic of late Georgian-era portraiture, notably in the delicate rendering of the white lace cravat against the vibrant green of the sitter's jacket.
