Description: | This work was one of thirty portraits of Bath councillors which General Wade commissioned from Van Diest. It is a three-quarter length portrait of Alderman Richard Ford at about 63 years of age. The Alderman is presented as a well-built, middle-aged gentleman, wearing a shoulder-length grey wig. He is depicted standing, attired in a long grey coat with gold buttons and button-holes, with a red gown. His left hand is on his hip, and his right hand is gloved. He is depicted before a column. | Subjects: | portrait (Richard Ford) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Diest, Johan van (Dutch painter, act. c.1700) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8347... | Go to resource |
