While the exact date of the painting remains unverified, it falls within the stylistic parameters of mid-toate 18th-century British art, suggesting that it might have been created within this timeframe.

The subject of the painting, Thomas Bardwell, (1704 -1767), was a celebrated British portrait and figure painter himself, heralded for his contributions to the development of the art scene in England's Norfolk county in the 18th century. He was particularly known for his work on portraits and decorative mural paintings. Bardwell was also an author and released a book titled "The Practice of Painting and Perspective Made Easy," which was heralded as a pioneering work in art theory and practice.

The "Portrait of Thomas Bardwell" is considered unique because it features an artist as its subject, reflecting perhaps, an intimate understanding between the artist and the subject. The portrait showcases Bardwell in a dignified pose, dressed in the fashion of his era, and holding what appears to be a paintbrush - a direct reference to his occupation. The backdrop of the portrait is a plainly rendered domestic interior, which contrasts the elaborately detailed depiction of Bardwell, drawing attention to the figure and emphasizing his socio-professional status.

The painting's location is currently unknown, and there's no record of it being included in any exhibitions or art collections. Because of this, public appreciation of the painting has been limited.
