About the piece
This sophisticated oil portrait by Ozias Humphry depicts young Bridger Seward poised with a cricket bat. Dressed in a striking red coat and wide-brimmed hat, the subject is set against a moody, atmospheric landscape that highlights the charm and dignity of the late 18th-century English portrait tradition.
