About the piece
Painted in 1789 by the celebrated English portraitist George Romney, this work depicts John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, in his later years. The composition utilizes dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight the sitter's characterful features and flowing white hair against a deeply shadowed background, exemplifying late Georgian formal portraiture.
