This oil on canvas print showcases Rowland Burdon, an influential figure in 18th-century England. The portrait, created by the English School, is housed at Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens in Tyne & Wear, UK. Rowland Burdon (c. 1757 - 17 September 1838) was not only a landowner but also a prominent Tory politician hailing from Castle Eden in County Durham.
