Measuring 77.5 x 66.7 cm, it is housed at the prestigious Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA. Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was not only a naval administrator but also a diarist and Member of Parliament during his time. This painting beautifully captures his essence as an Englishman living through significant historical events such as the plague outbreak, Great Fire of London, and civil war. Pepys' distinguished appearance is highlighted by his elegant cravat and wig - symbols of wealth and status during the seventeenth century. His piercing gaze reflects both intelligence and determination. The painting serves as a visual gateway into Pepys' world; it transports us back to a pivotal era in English history when political tensions ran high. Through his famous diary entries that chronicled both personal experiences and public affairs, we gain invaluable insights into Restoration England. Riley's skillful brushwork brings out every intricate detail with precision while capturing the essence of this prominent figure from the Stuart period. This portrait stands as a testament to Samuel Pepys' enduring legacy as one of England's most celebrated individuals who witnessed firsthand some of its most defining moments.
