Daniel Rogers is a 1767 oil by John Singleton Copley, a Rococo painting work, held at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
This portrait painting shows a man sitting in a chair, wearing a red coat with gold buttons and a white shirt with ruffles. He has dark hair and is looking directly at the viewer. The background is dark, which makes the man stand out. The man's expression is serious, and his posture is formal. He is holding his right arm on the back of the chair, and his left arm is resting on his lap. The painting is very detailed, with intricate folds in the man's clothing and a subtle sheen on his face. The artist, John Singleton Copley, used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The strong contrast between light and dark creates a dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject.
John Singleton Copley (July 3, 1738 – September 9, 1815) was an American-born British painter active in both the Thirteen Colonies and England.
