Description
Portrait of a Cleric
English, ca. 1800. Oil on canvas, housed in gilt composition frame. A half length portrait of a cleric with wig and white stock, featuring a coloration that draws the eye to the face of the cleric, and keeps the eye directed there because of the contrast to the dark background. Additionally, the figure's right index finger is pointing, a classic motif symbolizing the intellect and scholarly attributes of the cleric. Unsigned; 35 x 26.75 in. (sight).
