About the piece
Created around 1850 by Joseph Edgar Boehm, this oil study focuses on the brilliant red fabric and ornate gold embroidery of a coat belonging to the 11th Earl of Westmorland. The contrast between the saturated scarlet and the atmospheric, dark background creates a sophisticated piece with a distinct scholarly aesthetic and historical presence.
