"Portrait of Joseph Henry of Straffan" is an 18th-century painting attributed to the Italian artist Pompeo Batoni and his workshop. Batoni, renowned for his portraits of European aristocracy, was a leading figure in Rome during the Grand Tour era. This particular portrait depicts Joseph Henry, an Irish gentleman associated with Straffan, a locality in County Kildare, Ireland.

Batoni's portraits are celebrated for their meticulous attention to detail and the elegant portrayal of his subjects. In this painting, Joseph Henry is presented with a dignified posture, dressed in the fashion typical of the period. The background and setting are characteristic of Batoni's style, often featuring classical elements that reflect the sitter's status and education.

The collaboration with his workshop suggests that while Batoni may have been involved in the initial stages of the portrait, his assistants likely contributed to its completion. This was a common practice among prominent artists of the time, allowing them to manage numerous commissions.

The painting exemplifies the Grand Tour portrait genre, where wealthy young men from Britain and Ireland would travel across Europe, particularly Italy, to complete their education and acquire cultural refinement. These portraits served as mementos of their travels and as symbols of their elevated social standing.

Currently, the painting's location and ownership are not widely documented, which is often the case with works that remain in private collections or have not been prominently exhibited. The portrait remains an important example of Batoni's influence on portraiture and the cultural exchanges facilitated by the Grand Tour.

Further research into Joseph Henry's life and the painting's provenance could provide additional insights into its historical context and significance.
