The identity of the sitter in this enigmatic portrait is unknown. Some think he is the “Indian Captain” that Joseph Wright of Derby exhibited in 1767, but the turban and costume are fanciful, not the uniform of an East Indian Company officer. Whoever he is, the background ships imply an imminent departure, and the lingering look over his shoulder suggests a reluctance to leave. These elements suggest that the portrait was commissioned to mark a significant moment in the sitter’s life.
