About the piece

Painted in 1826 by Edward Coleman, this charming oil portrait depicts a young Master Joseph Fussell. The work demonstrates Coleman's refined technique in capturing the soft features of childhood and the delicate, airy textures of a translucent ruffle collar, set against a rich, shadowed backdrop that emphasizes the boy's luminous presence.
