"Portrait of Jonas Hanway, small full-length, seated at a table, beside a surveyor's theodolite and a classical urn, overlooking a landscape" is an 18th-century painting by English artist Arthur Devis. The artwork is a notable example of Devis's portraiture, which often depicted sitters in intimate, domestic settings with an array of personal objects that reflect their interests and social status. In this portrait, Jonas Hanway, an English traveller and philanthropist, is rendered in a small full-length format, a characteristic approach of Devis that combines attention to detail with a sense of the sitter's environment.

Hanway is depicted seated at a table, which serves as a stage for the display of a surveyor's theodolite, symbolizing his interest in science and exploration. The presence of a classical urn in the composition may allude to Hanway's taste for classical antiquity and the Grand Tour, a rite of passage for the wealthy elite of the time. The background landscape, a common feature in Devis's portraits, provides a picturesque setting that complements the serene and contemplative mood of the painting.

Arthur Devis (1712–1787) was known for his meticulous and somewhat stylized portraits that captured the emerging middle class and landed gentry of his era. His works are significant for their documentary value, providing insights into the social history, fashion, and interior design of the period. "Portrait of Jonas Hanway" exemplifies Devis's contribution to British portraiture and offers a glimpse into the life and interests of one of the 18th century's notable figures.
