William Jones 1740

This oil painting by William Hogarth, created in 1740, is a portrait of William Jones. The subject is seated, wearing a brown jacket and a white shirt. He is depicted with a powdered wig and holds a hat in his hand. The portrait's realistic style, with its attention to detail and naturalism, is characteristic of Hogarth's work, and is a fine example of portraiture from the 18th century.
