Portret van Thomas Harrison 1765

Edward Fisher's 1765 portrait of Thomas Harrison is a classic example of 18th-century portraiture. The sitter is depicted in a formal pose, seated in a chair and wearing a fur-trimmed robe. The painting is characterized by its realistic depiction of Harrison's features and the meticulous detail with which Fisher rendered his clothing. The subdued lighting and the dark background further emphasize the subject's formality and dignity, contributing to the overall sense of gravitas.
