A portrait of Sir Richard Arkwright by Joseph Wright of Derby, showing the industrialist with a model of his spinning frame. The painting captures Arkwright's self-assuredness and the spirit of innovation during the Industrial Revolution.
This portrait by Joseph Wright of Derby depicts Sir Richard Arkwright (1732-1792), a leading figure in the early Industrial Revolution. Arkwright is shown seated, with a self-assured posture and direct gaze. He wears a brown coat over a striped yellow waistcoat, black breeches, and white stockings. His right hand rests on a table, upon which sits a model of his spinning frame, a key invention that mechanised textile production. The painting's composition is relatively simple, with a dark background that throws the figure into sharp relief. A draped curtain adds a touch of formality. Wright's skill in rendering textures and details is evident in the fabrics and the machinery model. The portrait captures Arkwright's status as a successful entrepreneur and inventor, reflecting the spirit of innovation that characterised the era. Wright, known for his portraits of industrialists and his interest in scientific subjects, was well-placed to portray Arkwright, a man who transformed the textile industry and contributed significantly to Britain's economic growth.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Painted the Industrial Revolution by candlelight: a dying bird in a vacuum, a philosopher's orrery, and the discovery of phosphorus. All from Derby.
