About the piece
Painted in 1768 by Francis Cotes, this portrait depicts William, Sixth Baron Craven, in a moment of repose. Dressed in a vibrant green hunting coat and tan breeches while holding his riding gloves and hat, the sitter embodies the relaxed nobility of the period. The masterful rendering of textures—from the heavy cloth of the coat to the soft leather of the gloves—is set against a dramatic, atmospheric sky and gnarled tree, creating a work of both character and natural beauty.
