Description

Ebenezer Storer presents a mature sitter at close range, with his face turned slightly to one side above the substantial folds of his clothing. A soft cap and the rich tones around the shoulders give the portrait a tactile quality, while the face remains crisply individualized. The displayed view includes an ornate gold frame, reinforcing the image’s carefully contained, formal presentation.

John Singleton Copley made the portrait around 1767–69 in pastel on paper mounted on canvas. The Metropolitan Museum of Art emphasizes his rendering of the green damask garment and the velvet headwear, as well as the fine distinctions of skin and facial hair. Pastel’s capacity for both saturated color and delicate surface effects makes those varied materials an important part of the sitter’s presence.
