This portrait of Richard Heber was painted by John Singleton Copley, a prominent American artist who achieved international fame in the late 18th century. The painting depicts a young boy, likely in his late teens, standing in a wooded landscape with a cricket bat and ball. The composition, lighting, and detail in the portrait showcase Copley's mastery of realism and his skill in capturing the likeness of his subjects. The inclusion of the cricket bat and ball suggests Heber's interest in the popular sport, which was becoming increasingly popular in England at the time.
