About the piece
Painted in 1754 by the celebrated Neoclassical master Anton Raphael Mengs, this portrait depicts William Burton Conyngham. The work is notable for its delicate rendering of the sitter’s features and the rich, draped fabric of his cloak, characteristic of the technical precision and refined elegance of the mid-18th century.
