Italian School, circa 1765

Portrait of a young man in a red velvet jacket and tricorn hat
oil on unstretched canvas
11.5 x 9cm (4 1/2 x 3 9/16in).
within a leather-bound case lined with a letter of the period addressed to Mr Harrington

Footnotes

The letter suggests that the subject was British and as the work was painted by an Italian hand it is likely to have been commissioned while the sitter was on the Grand Tour.
