About the piece
This 1820 portrait by Sir Martin Archer Shee depicts his son, William, with a sensitive and atmospheric touch characteristic of the Romantic period. The striking contrast between the bright ruffled collar and the deep crimson tones of the jacket creates a timeless and elegant focal point for a library or formal study.
