Portrait of a Man in a Blue Velvet Cloak, Early 18th Century

A bewigged man with a pale, long wig stands half-length against a dark background, wearing a dark blue velvet cloak over a cream shirt with a gold-embroidered edge. He gestures with his right hand, fingers raised, and gazes calmly toward the viewer in a formal oil portrait.
