The artist hasn’t listed its size yet, so pinch to scale it once it’s on your wall.

A formal eighteenth-century portrait presents a composed gentleman in a powdered gray wig, dark embroidered coat, ornate waistcoat, and lace cravat. His slight smile and direct gaze soften the ceremonial elegance of the costume, while the bust-length composition emerges from a deep, subdued background. Carefully modeled facial features, luminous skin, and finely rendered textiles give the painting the intimate polish of a courtly portrait.
