Description
English: Portrait of Colonel Charles Heathcote

Charles Heathcote (1731–1803) was a Captain in the Army and Colonel of the Hereford Militia, and Paymaster of the Hereford recruiting district in 1798.

Assuming a relaxed but commanding pose, Colonel Charles Heathcote (1731–1803) stands beside a large oak tree in the foreground of an expansive landscape. He wears military dress, the single epaulette on his right shoulder designating his rank as colonel. Wright’s composition demonstrates his new-found fascination with landscape: while the figure is relatively smoothly painted, the landscape is painted far more energetically, using thickly applied daubs of color.
