About the piece
Painted in 1749, this full-length portrait of Thomas Newenham captures the refinement of the Georgian era. Dressed in a mauve frock coat and an embroidered gold waistcoat, the subject is posed against a soft English landscape, leaning beside a telescope on a rocky outcrop—a symbol of his scholarly pursuits.
