PORTRAIT OF A GENTLEMAN
Seated half length at a desk, wearing a drak coat and holding spectacles, oil on canvas
75 x 62cm.
* The attribution is based upon a signature and date (1804), formerly visible verso prior to lining. The sitter was once thought to be Laurand Branchereau (1765-1838). Berridge studied under Sir Joshua Reynolds from 1766-1768.
