About this work

This portrait painting shows a man with white hair and a dark jacket. He is looking directly at the viewer. The man's white hair is styled in a way that was common during the late 18th century. His dark jacket is formal, suggesting he may have been a member of the upper class or a professional. The painting's style is simple, with a focus on the subject's face and clothing. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this painting, which is a good place to learn more about art from this time period.
