Description:
Oil portrait of the half-length figure of a man, with a powdered wig and tricorn hat, wearing a tan coat over a brocaded waist coat, in an ornate gilt frame. This portrait was originally attributed to Sir Nathaniel Dance (1734-1811), a British artist who had a strong influence on American painters who studied in London. However, Ellis Waterhouse, a British art historian and author of books on Reynolds and Gainsbrough, did not believe it to be by Dance.
