Isaac Foster, Jr. 1755

"Isaac Foster, Jr." is a portrait painting created by Joseph Badger in 1755. The painting depicts a young man, Isaac Foster Jr., standing in a three-quarter pose with his right hand resting on his hip. He is dressed in a fashionable 18th-century coat and waistcoat, and his hair is styled in a wig. The painting is a fine example of Badger's work, which is characterized by its realism and attention to detail. The painting's muted palette and strong contrasts create a sense of depth and dimensionality. The work is a prime example of American portraiture in the 18th century.
