The painting's style is typical of Wright's work, featuring a dramatic use of light and shadow and attention to detail. Wright's paintings are often characterized by their realism and their focus on the human form and its interaction with the natural world. The painting conveys a sense of Hesketh's wealth and status, as well as his connection to the natural world through hunting. This piece is a notable example of portraiture from the period, showcasing Wright's skill and mastery of the genre.
