This oil portrait by English artist John Hoppner, depicts Charles Moss, who served as both Archdeacon of Colchester and Bishop of Bath and Wells. The subject is seated and dressed in the attire of a high ranking clergyman. The work is characterized by a somber tone and a focus on the sitter’s countenance. The artist’s use of soft, blended brushstrokes contributes to the portrait's overall sense of realism. Hoppner was known for his portraits of prominent figures, and this work is typical of his style.
