This exquisite portrait captures the distinguished visage of Major Holt Waring, an Irish military officer who served in the British Army during the late 18th century.

Major Waring's strong and serious expression conveys a sense of authority and experience, while his impeccably dressed uniform, adorned with various insignia and medals, attests to his military accomplishments. The intricate details of the fabric textures, folds, and embellishments are rendered with remarkable precision and realism, showcasing Hone's exceptional artistic abilities. Horace Hone was a prominent British artist known for his portraits and historical illustrations.
