Portret van William Kerr c. 1762 - 1769

This portrait of William Kerr, painted by Edward Fisher between 1762 and 1769, is a striking example of 18th-century portraiture. Kerr is depicted in full military regalia, standing confidently with a musket and other military accoutrements, suggesting his status as a high-ranking officer. The landscape background, with its distant fort, further reinforces this sense of military authority and possibly hints at a specific battle or campaign. The work's realism and detail are characteristic of Fisher's style, showcasing his skill as a portraitist of his time.
