This 19th-century oil painting is by the prominent portraitist F. S. Laurence, rendered after an original work by Joseph Wood. The distinguished composition depicts a gentleman dressed in a classic navy blue coat and is signed by the artist on the bottom right. Housed in a traditional wood frame, the framed piece measures approximately 9 1/4 in. H x 7 1/4 in. W. It is in fair-to-good antique condition, displaying age-appropriate wear to both the canvas and the frame consistent with its history.
