# Portrait of a Gentleman [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ROMNEY, George]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 76 x 64 cm ## Commentary This painting portrays a gentleman, half-length, wearing a dark coat and white stock. English portraiture flourished in the late eighteenth century, when not only aristocrats, but also lesser nobles, merchants and officers commissioned portraits of themselves, their wives and children. The present portrait reflects this trend, and commissions similar to it are typical of much of Romney's work. ## Related artworks - [Lady in a Brown Robe]() - [Miss Constable]() - [Portrait of Edward Wortley Montagu]() - [Portrait of George, Lord Brooke, with a Dog]() - [Portrait of Lady Anne Barbara Russell]() - [Portrait of Lady Emma Hamilton as Flora]() - [Portrait of Lady Georgiana Smyth and her Son]() - [Portrait of Mrs Anne Carwardine and Her Eldest Son, Thomas]() - [Portrait of Mrs. Harriet Greer]() - [Portrait of Mrs Henrietta Morris and Her Son John]() - [Portrait of Mrs. Henry Ainslie with Her Child]() - [Portrait of Philip Yorke, 2nd Earl of Hardwicke]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
