Francis Folger Franklin, Godfrey Kneller, between 1736 and 1737

The portrait represents a child with short, curling hair, in the garment of a young boy: a bright red frock, with undershirt visible at the neck and cuffs. A vivid blue robe wraps his body below the waist. He is depicted outdoors, with trees behind him providing a dark background for his head and body. In the far distance is a hillside with a single tree standing on it, and a patch of sky visible at the upper left of the canvas. The child faces the viewer squarely, his left hand raised in salute; his right arm, bent at the elbow, rests on a raised hill? covered with red. Behind him is a curtain of red cloth. Object Type: painting. Date: between 1736 and 1737. Dimensions: height: 83.8 cm (32.9 in); width: 63.5 cm (25 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Private collection, city of Philadelphia. Francis Folger Franklin
