A head and shoulders portrait of William Baines of Morley (1821-1904). The subject is depicted with white hair and a full beard, wearing a formal dark jacket, white shirt, and black necktie. The medium appears to be watercolour or an over-painted photograph on paper, presented within a gold-toned mount that bears a printed inscription identifying the sitter and his life dates. The work is housed in an ornate moulded frame finished in black with gilded highlights and foliate scroll motifs at the corners and centres.
11 x 8 in.
