About the piece
Painted in 1743 by Arthur Devis, this work captures William Farington of Shawe Hall in a moment of poised relaxation. Set against a soft, atmospheric landscape, the subject is rendered with the meticulous detail characteristic of English Georgian portraiture, from the textures of his silk stockings to the watchful expression of his hunting dog at his feet.
