An 18th century portrait of ''R. Digby, Surgeon''. Oil on canvas.
The work depicts the sitter in a brown suit before a shelf of books with an elbow upon a table with papers beneath, the title of which appears to read ''Practical theory on amputation...''. The sitter holds a book in his right hand titled ''Haller'', presumably Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777), a Swiss anatomist, physiologist, naturalist, encyclopedist, bibliographer and poet.
There is craquelure throughout, most notably to the sitter''s right breast. Historically re-lined. House in a later gilt frame which has some losses but nonetheless displays well.
An interesting portrait.
