Oil painting on canvas characterised by an atmosphere of sober elegance. The focus is on the realistic portrayal of the character, with particular attention to the details of the face. The expression is serious and composed, but not necessarily austere; on the contrary, it tries to convey a sense of dignity, intelligence and social status. Datable to the end of the 18th century and placeable in the tradition of English portraiture of the time.
