Portrait of James Northcote is a 1775 watercolor by Dance, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white oval portrait of a man in profile. He’s wearing a high-collared coat, and his face is turned slightly away, showing a strong jawline and a calm expression. The drawing is framed by a thick border, and the paper has a slightly aged look. The top image is labeled as a pencil and color drawing of a painter. The artist’s name, Dance, is mentioned in the notes below. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
