Sir Richard Arkwright (1732–1792) is an oil by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
This painting depicts a man with white hair, wearing a dark jacket and a white cravat. He is seated, with his left hand resting on his lap. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the subject's lighter attire. The man's facial expression appears serious, and his posture suggests a sense of formality. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber, with the dark background drawing attention to the subject.
