Thomas Borrow (1709–1786) is a 1762 oil by Joseph Wright of Derby, a Rococo painting work, held at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
This painting depicts a man sitting in a chair, wearing a red coat and a green waistcoat. He has white hair and is looking directly at the viewer. The background is a plain wall with a yellow curtain on the right side. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest that he is a gentleman from the 18th century. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The level of detail and realism in the painting is impressive, making it a great example of the artist's skill.
