The artwork is named “Wilhelm Cramer” and was created by Thomas Hardy in the year 1794. This piece is a portrait and belongs to the Baroque art movement.
The artwork depicts an elderly gentleman seated against a dark background with a hint of red drapery on the upper right corner. The subject, presumably Wilhelm Cramer, is portrayed with a calm and dignified expression, his gaze directed towards the viewer. His hair is a powdered white, styled in the fashion of the period. He is dressed in a dark coat over a white cravat and shirt. In his left hand, he holds a piece of paper or a document, which adds an air of intellectual engagement. The lighting and texture capture the refined elegance typical of Baroque portraiture.
