Master Rees Goring Thomas by Ralph Earl: A young man with fair skin and brown hair sits on a rock in a forest, looking at the viewer. He wears a black jacket with gold buttons, a white ruffled collar, and a yellow vest and pants. His right arm rests on his knee, and his left arm rests on a rolled-up paper. He wears white stockings and black shoes with straps. The background shows trees, foliage, and a distant landscape.
