His attire, likely reflecting the fashion and status symbols of the period, is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Wright's skill in capturing the textures and subtleties of fabric and form. The background of the portrait is typically subdued, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on Newton's face and expression, which convey a sense of wisdom and responsibility.
