About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with wavy hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a ruffled shirt with a high collar and a dark coat. The background is plain and dark, making his face stand out. The name "Mr. John Philips" is written below the image, and the print looks old and slightly faded. It’s not a painting but a printed portrait, which was common in the 1700s. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this.
