Tench Francis

Robert Feke

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man with fair skin and a round face, wearing a long brown coat with large buttons, a white shirt with billowy cuffs, and a white wig that falls to his shoulders. He has rosy cheeks and is looking to his right with a neutral expression. His right arm is bent at the elbow, and his left arm is extended outward, with his hand resting on a surface. A brown belt with a gold buckle is visible around his waist. The background features a landscape with clouds and a brown sky on the left side, while the right side is dark red. The man is identified as Tench Francis by the artist Robert Feke.
