This portrait shows a serious-looking man in a dark military coat with silver buttons and epaulettes. His white wig is powdered, and he wears a star on his chest. The background is plain black, putting all focus on him. The title at the bottom calls him "The Right Honourable Earl Howe," which hints at his high rank. The artist’s name, Robert Dunkarton, is also written there. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
