Portrait of a Gentleman
Henry Benbridge, born Philadelphia, PA 1743-died Philadelphia, PA 1812 · ca. 1795
This portrait of a gruff-looking gentleman was originally attributed to Edward Savage, but research indicates it is by Henry Benbridge. The sitter’s wary expression and pugnacious jaw suggest a personality only slightly tamed by elegant clothing.
