## Commentary

Portrait of a Gentleman with a Boy c. 1765 Oil on canvas, 107 x 90 cm Private collection This painting represents a full-length portrait of a gentleman sitting by a giltwood table in a drawing room, with a young boy and a pet greyhound. It is a relaxed and informal double portrait. Influences of Francis Hayman&#39;s style can be observed in the present painting, with its informal setting within a rich interior, though the painting technique is rather more refined and smooth than Hayman&#39;s.
