The Reverend Samuel Kilderbee is a 1770 oil by Thomas Gainsborough, a Rococo painting work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting features a portrait of a man with curly brown hair, dressed in a black jacket over a yellow waistcoat and white cravat. He is positioned against a dark background, with the focus centered on his upper body. The subject's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal setting, likely from the 18th century. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. To learn more about the artist behind this portrait, explore the works of Thomas Gainsborough.
