Thomas Gainsborough, circa 1785/1788

The image shows a man in a portrait from the waist up. He has fair skin, curly light-colored hair, and wears a dark navy coat with gold buttons and a vibrant red collar. Under the coat, he wears a pale yellow waistcoat with a high, ruffled white shirt collar. The man's hands are visible, with one on a long rifle held upright and the other on the brim of a black hat at his side. The background features green foliage, distant mountains, and a serene sky.
