The captivating portrait of Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, painted in 1764 by Francis Cotes, showcases the distinguished military officer in all his glory. Standing tall and proud, Smith dons the vibrant red coat of the 10th Regiment of Foot, a symbol of his loyalty and bravery on the battlefield. With an air of authority, Smith points confidently towards an unseen target, perhaps hinting at his strategic prowess as a leader. His tri-cornered hat adds to his commanding presence while a sash elegantly drapes across his chest. Holding a lance and spear with precision, he embodies strength and readiness for battle. This remarkable painting captures not only Smith's physical appearance but also offers insight into the Georgian era's military culture.
