Sir Hans Sloane (1660–1753) is a 1726 oil by John Vanderbank, a Rococo painting work, held at British Museum.
This portrait depicts a man with long, curly hair, dressed in a dark blue velvet coat and white shirt, seated in a large wooden chair with ornate carvings. He holds a piece of paper in his right hand, resting it on a table beside him. The background features a statue of a man, partially obscured by a curtain. The subject's attire and the chair's design suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The inclusion of the statue in the background adds depth to the composition.
