Portrait of Charles Hamilton, 8th Early of Haddington 

This oil on canvas portrait by Joshua Reynolds depicts Charles Hamilton, the 8th Earl of Haddington. The painting features a traditional portrait style with the subject rendered in a realistic manner, as was common in Reynolds' work. Hamilton is portrayed wearing a rich velvet robe with a fur collar, a lavish gold embroidered waistcoat, and a crisp white lace cravat, highlighting the wealth and status of the sitter. The dark background creates a sense of formality and draws the viewer's attention to the subject. This portrait, like many by Reynolds, showcases the artist's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the likeness and character of his sitters.
