Description: | The Reverend Sir Joseph Drew, is seen at half-length, with a closely scrutinised face turned to the right, and a figure set against a plain dark background. He wears a black cloak and a short white scarf. Luxuriant hair falling onto shoulders, frames a fleshy face characterised by a long, slightly bent nose, almost horizontal eyebrows and full lips. This painterly canvas with its fluid brushwork, warm tonality and an engaging sense of the sitter's personality is characteristic of Sir John Medina, a leading portrait painter in Scotland, knighted in 1707. | Subjects: | portrait (Joseph Drew) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Medina, John Baptist de (Flemish-Spanish painter, 1659-1710, active in Scotland) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8355... | Go to resource |
