About this work

This portrait depicts a young man dressed in academic attire, standing in front of a large stone building. He wears a black robe with white fur trim and a graduation cap, suggesting he is an Oxford undergraduate. The subject's face is blurred, making it difficult to discern his features. The background of the painting shows a stone building with many windows and a tower, set against a blue sky with white clouds. This painting is held at the Ashmolean Museum.
