EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases a distinguished gentleman, believed to be Alexander Baillie of the First Foot. Painted by the renowned artist Joseph Wright of Derby in 1761-62, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 76.2x63.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The subject of the painting stands tall and proud, adorned in an exquisite military uniform that signifies his rank as captain in the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards. With a hat respectfully tucked under his left arm, he exudes an air of authority and confidence. Wright's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only Baillie's physical features but also his commanding presence. The rich red jacket contrasts beautifully against the backdrop, emphasizing his importance and status within society. Baillie's brocade attire adds another layer of opulence to this already striking portrait. The intricate patterns woven into the fabric reflect both his refined taste and social standing. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when military prowess was celebrated through art. Through Wright's skillful handiwork, Baillie's essence comes alive before our eyes - forever immortalized on canvas. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate every meticulous detail captured by Bridgeman Images without any commercial use implications. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, portraits like these continue to captivate viewers with their timeless beauty and historical significance.
