Prince Hoare Esq.

William Ridley after James Northcote

National Gallery of Art

The image is an upper-body portrait of Prince Hoare Esq., shown from the chest up. The person is positioned slightly turned to the side, gazing towards the viewer with a composed expression. He has a youthful face with an aquiline nose, a gentle jawline, and curly, short hair that is neatly styled away from the face. He is dressed in 18th-century attire, wearing a coat with an elaborate collar and a white cravat adorning his neck. The background is a textured gradient with the suggestion of draped fabric in the upper corner. The engraving is bordered and labeled below with the name "Prince Hoare Esq." and publication details.
