"Portrait of a Gentleman, Seated Half-Length, in a Black Suit and Waistcoat, Holding a Bar of Soap" is a notable work attributed to the English School, a term used to describe a group of artists from England whose specific identities often remain anonymous or collective. This particular painting, dating from the 18th to 19th century, captures a gentleman dressed in the fashion of the period, depicted in a seated position. The subject wears a black suit and waistcoat, which was typical of the formal attire of the time. Uniquely, the gentleman is portrayed holding a bar of soap, an element that adds an intriguing and possibly symbolic layer to the artwork. The inclusion of the soap may suggest themes of cleanliness, purity, or the emerging social and personal hygiene practices of the era.

The painting is executed in a realistic style, with careful attention to the textures of the fabric and the detailed rendering of the gentleman's facial features and expression. The background is typically subdued, allowing the viewer to focus on the subject and the elements of his attire and the soap he holds.
