| Description |
The subject’s elongated, slightly softened facial features and vaguely detached air are typical of William Beechey’s elegant portraits of male subjects. The jacket worn by the sitter is probably a naval uniform. Beechey enjoyed a very successful painting career in London. In 1793 he was appointed portrait painter to Queen Charlotte and was knighted in 1798. |
