Mr Suett as Dicky Gossip in 'My Grandmother'

About this work

This painting shows a man standing in front of a fireplace, wearing a long grey coat, a black waistcoat, and a white shirt. He has a brown apron around his waist and is holding a hat in his right hand. The man's face is pale, and he has a surprised expression. His hair is white and styled in a wig. The background of the painting is a room with a fireplace and a chair. The man's clothing and hairstyle suggest that he is a character from a play or a theatrical performance. The painting's style and use of color are typical of 18th-century British art. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this painting, you might want to look up Samuel De Wilde.
