Portrait of Joseph Scott is a 1765 oil by John Singleton Copley, a Rococo painting work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This portrait features a man sitting at a marble-topped table, holding a book. He wears a red coat with gold buttons and a white shirt with ruffles at the cuffs and neck. His hair is styled in a wig, and he has a serious expression. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal, 18th-century setting. The use of rich colors and detailed textures adds depth to the painting. To learn more about the artist behind this work, explore the paintings of John Singleton Copley.
