Portrait of Anthony Devis
Arthur Devis, c. 1747
Half-length portrait, almost minature in scale, depicting a young man of about eighteen years old. Anthony Devis (1729 - 1816) was the artist's half-brother, and the two worked together until Anthony established himself as an independent and successful landscape painter around 1760. The relaxed informality of the work in both mood and technique is seldom found in Arthur Devis' oeuvre.
