William Innes

Valentine Green after Lemuel Francis Abbott

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men in full-length view standing in an outdoor setting. The man in the foreground stands facing slightly to the side and holds a golf club over his shoulder. He has a smooth face and is wearing a large-brimmed hat, with light curly hair visible underneath. He is dressed in a 18th-century-style outfit: a buttoned jacket with ornate shoulder decorations, knee-length breeches, and tall socks tucked into buckle shoes. The man in the background stands behind him with a more relaxed posture. He has longer hair under a tricorn hat and wears a long coat while holding multiple golf clubs. The background features an expansive landscape with a large house, fields, and a windmill, bordered by a wooden fence. The sky appears cloudy, providing a classic, serene backdrop to the scene.
