About the piece
Painted in 1788 by Jens Juel, this portrait depicts Joseph Greenway in a relaxed, pastoral setting. The subject leans comfortably against a large tree, his striking blue coat contrasting with the warm tones of the hillside and the distant, soft blue coastline. A small spotted dog stands attentively in the foreground, adding a touch of charm to this elegant composition.
