Sir Nicholas Caren of Beddington

John Faber II

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an upper-body portrait of a man standing with his body slightly turned to the side. He has a serious expression and wears a large curly wig. He is clad in a formal, buttoned coat with decorative elements. His left hand is on his hip, and he holds a cane in his right hand. A sword hangs from his waist, with its hilt visible. The background is dark, with what appears to be drapery on the left side.
