About this work

This painting shows a man in a black coat with wide cuffs and a white wig, standing near a window. He holds a piece of paper in one hand and rests the other on a small table covered with more papers. Outside, you can see a city with buildings and a river, plus a tall tower in the distance. The man’s outfit looks formal, like someone important in the 1700s. The window view suggests he might have been someone who worked with documents or maps. Next, look up copper to see how it was used in art during this time.
