Created in 1748, this work is a significant example of Feke's portraiture, which is known for its refined style and insightful depiction of the subject's character.

Bowdoin was the father of James Bowdoin, a statesman and philanthropist after whom Bowdoin College is named.

In this portrait, Feke captures William Bowdoin in a half-length format, dressed in the attire typical of a gentleman of his standing during the mid-18th century. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, the use of light and shadow, and the lifelike representation of Bowdoin's features. Feke's skill in rendering textures, such as the sitter's clothing and the intricate lacework, is evident and contributes to the overall realism of the piece.
