About the piece
Painted in 1795 by Antoine Vestier, this dignified portrait captures John Moore, a noted Scottish physician and novelist. Moore is depicted in a striking dark blue coat with a vibrant yellow waistcoat, a classic ensemble of the late Enlightenment era. The work showcases Vestier's refined technique and ability to capture the thoughtful character of his sitters.
