Francis Hopkinson
Description
Self-portrait of Francis Hopkinson (1737-1791) after an earlier portrait of the sitter by Robert Edge Pine (1730-1788). Hopkinson is pictured as a man with ash brown hair seated with his back to the picture plane, but with his face turned toward the viewer as if lost in thought. He holds a quill in his right hand. He wears a black coat over a white shirt. The sky can be seen in the background on the right side of the composition.
