- Physical Description
- Full-length portrait of a standing male in a lanscape setting. To the left of the composition stands a pair of birches near the figure; to the right the landscape opens up to a distant expanse of trees and hills. The man, Sir Foster Cunliiffe, stands facing to the right and looking out of the canvas to the left. He holds a bow and quiver of arrows; a black hat with feather lies on the ground at his feet. He is dressed in tan pants and waistcoat with a green frock coat and black boots.
- Subject Matter
- Cunliffe wears the uniform of the Royal Society of British Bowmen, a group he founded in 1787 and is shown in a landscape, presumably his estate of Acton Park in Denbighshire. His family's fortune came from trade, including participation in the slave trade before it was outlawed in Britain.
