Om maleriet
This oil portrait of a ‘Mr Nicholas’ in full dress, depicted as if resting during a country walk, is typical of late-18th century British portraiture. The tradition of the country gentleman in nature is particularly epitomized in the early work of Thomas Gainsborough. Wilson was a Leeds-born portraitist, engraver and scientist. Upon settling in London, he befriended the likes of William Hogarth and David Garrick and set up his own successful portrait practice as well as painting theatre pieces. Although he exhibited rarely, he was appointed Sergeant Painter to the monarchy and painter to the Board of Ordnance. Later in life, he became a renowned chemist, earning a fellowship of the Royal Society for his work on electricity.
