← Budington, Jonathan

The image displays two people from the waist up. The person on the left is seated in a green chair, facing slightly towards the viewer. They have short, light brown hair neatly combed to the side, a stern expression, noticeable cheeks, and a defined nose. They wear a tan coat with gold buttons over a black waistcoat and a white cravat. The person next to them, potentially a child, is slightly in front, facing the viewer, with hands clasped together or touching the object held by the other person. The child has very short light hair, a similar facial structure with bright eyes, and wears a dark garment with a white ruffled collar. The background features rich red drapery and a hint of a scenic landscape.
