About the Item

Figural Portrait of a Gentleman in Mustard Coat, Oil on Canvas by Michael Ford ⸻ Description Expressive oil-on-canvas painting depicting a cropped figural portrait of a gentleman dressed in an 18th-century–inspired mustard-colored coat with a white cravat and soft pink waistcoat. The figure is intentionally presented without facial features, directing focus to posture, costume, and painterly gesture rather than likeness. Bold, confident brushwork defines the composition, particularly in the layered handling of the coat and the richly textured blue and teal background. The palette—anchored by ochre, teal, cream, and blush—creates warmth and visual depth, balancing historical reference with a distinctly contemporary sensibility. Mounted on a wooden stretcher and bearing the artist’s wax seal on the reverse, this work reflects Michael Ford’s interest in character, clothing, and identity, blending classical influence with modern expression. A strong decorative and narrative piece suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. ⸻ Artist Biography – Michael Ford Michael Ford is an American contemporary painter known for figurative works informed by historical costume and expressive brushwork. He is a graduate of the Parsons School of Design and pursued additional studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and the School of Visual Arts in New York. With a background in fashion and tailoring, Ford brings a nuanced understanding of clothing, structure, and gesture to his paintings. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows and is held in private collections throughout the United States. ⸻ If
