The artwork titled “Richard Clement Headington (1774–1831)” was created by the artist John Jackson in the year 1830. This portrait falls under the Rococo art movement and exemplifies the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, the subject is depicted in a seated position, turned slightly to his left. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark coat and a white high-collared shirt, exuding an air of dignity and composure. The background is dark, which serves to highlight the figure in the foreground more prominently. The subject’s facial expression is serene yet introspective, and he holds a rolled document in his right hand, adding a sense of purpose and refinement to the overall composition. The red armchair on which he sits adds a subtle touch of color and depth to the painting.
