Context:

Nathaniel Hurd and John Singleton Copley were both Boston success stories during the Colonial period. Hurd was the son of a silversmith, but he established a reputation for his engravings (including the seals of Harvard and of several states); Copley, the adopted son of an engraver, became Boston's most important portrait painter.Here Copley shows Hurd in his study; the books of heraldry indicate the sources of Hurd's designs. Hurd is dressed in his stylish, but relaxed, best. Unlike that other Bostonsilversmith, Paul Revere, whom Copley painted in his shirtsleeves at work, Hurd saw himself as much a man of leisure as a craftsman.
