About the piece
Attributed to Isaac Fuller around 1700, this sophisticated oil portrait captures Sir William Sanderson in a moment of scholarly contemplation. The artist masterfully contrasts the rich, dark textures of the sitter's cloak against the cool, pale stone of a sculpted bust, creating a high-contrast composition perfect for a traditional study or library.
