Henrietta Johnston, an early American pastelist, is credited with creating "Portrait of a Gentleman," a work that exemplifies her distinctive style and significant contribution to early American portraiture. Johnston, born Henrietta Deering in Ireland around 1674, emigrated to the American colonies in the early 18th century. She settled in Charleston, South Carolina, where she became one of the first professional female artists in America. Her work is particularly notable for its use of pastels, a medium that was relatively uncommon in the colonies at the time.

"Portrait of a Gentleman" is a testament to Johnston's skill in capturing the likeness and character of her subjects. The portrait, executed in pastels on paper, showcases her ability to render delicate facial features and the textures of clothing with remarkable precision. The gentleman in the portrait is depicted with a composed and dignified expression, reflecting the social status and personality of the sitter. Johnston's use of color is subtle yet effective, with a palette that enhances the naturalism of the portrait.

Johnston's portraits are valued not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance. They provide a window into the lives and appearances of early American colonists, many of whom were prominent figures in their communities. "Portrait of a Gentleman" is no exception, offering insights into the fashion, demeanor, and social milieu of the period.

Despite the challenges she faced as a female artist in a predominantly male profession, Johnston's work gained recognition and patronage. Her portraits were commissioned by many of Charleston's elite, ensuring her place in the annals of American art history. "Portrait of a Gentleman" remains a significant piece within her oeuvre, illustrating her contributions to the development of portraiture in America and her role as a pioneering female artist.
