About this work

This print shows a man in a dark coat and white cravat, his face half-lit by sharp light. Sir Joshua Reynolds made it in 1770, copying one of his own oil portraits. The print’s crisp lines catch the doctor’s confident gaze, a quiet sign of the new print fashion in London. Reynolds often turned his oil sketches into prints for wider sales.
