About the piece
Painted in 1838, this oil study by Sir George Hayter captures the likeness of Liberal politician Thomas Francis Kennedy. The work showcases the artist's refined technique, particularly in the luminous rendering of the subject's face against a moody, textural background typical of Regency-era portraiture.
