This portrait depicts a man in 18th-century attire, seated on a chair with his right leg crossed over his left. He wears a red coat with black trim, a white waistcoat, and white breeches. His white hair is styled in a powdered wig. The man holds a piece of paper in his right hand and rests his left arm on his lap. The room's background features a large stone wall with a decorative design, accompanied by a green table to the man's left. A window on the right side of the room offers a view of a distant landscape. To learn more about the artist behind this portrait, look up Richard Livesay.
