Portrait of Henry Carwick is a 1820 oil by Foeiqua, held at Peabody Essex Museum.
The painting depicts a man with short brown hair and a white shirt, wearing a dark blue jacket with three gold buttons. He is set against a gray background. The man's attire suggests a formal setting, and his expression is neutral. The painting's style is realistic, with attention to detail in the subject's clothing and facial features. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialize in portraiture, such as Foeiqua.
Foeiqua turns up in old ledgers as the painter who charged extra to keep the subject’s hat on, arguing it held half the personality.
