David Anderson

Britische Malerei 1780–1810, 1790

The artwork is a portrait showing a man from the waist up. He stands with his body turned slightly to the side, his left hand holding a hat at his side, and his right hand tucked into his waistcoat. He has light-colored hair, styled smoothly back, and his facial features are serene and composed. He is dressed in a dark, double-breasted coat over a white shirt with a high collar. The background features a warm, earthy palette with subtle hints of foliage. The lighting focuses on the man's face, creating a contrast with the darker surroundings.
