About the Item

Military portrait Oil on canvas Colonel William Flint 1731-1795 Dimensions are of frame This 18th-century portrait captures Colonel William Flint, a distinguished gentleman and officer, dressed in the formal military attire of the period. The subject is depicted in a red coat with dark lapels and gold epaulettes, indicative of his high rank. His hair frames a face that exudes confidence and authority. The artist has skillfully rendered the sitter's composed expression, highlighting the smoothness of his skin and the subtle shadows around his features, giving depth to his countenance. The portrait is enclosed in a gilded wooden frame, which, though showing signs of wear consistent with its age, still radiates the elegance of the period. The frame's intricate detailing complements the formality of the painting, adding to its overall historical charm. The dark, muted background serves to emphasize the figure, allowing the rich red of the uniform and the delicate textures of the white cravat to stand out prominently. This painting is not only a fine example of 18th-century portraiture but also a valuable historical artefact, offering a glimpse into the fashion, military attire, and artistic styles of the time.
