This painting is a full-length portrait of James Graham (1747–1820) seated, holding a fine silver hookah for smoking tobacco. He is smartly and expensively dressed wearing a grey powdered wig, coat, waistcoat, breeches and buckled shoes. His vast girth is a result of him enjoying many large dinners in India. A landscape fringed with palm trees can be viewed through a window opening on the left of the composition. He was a descendant of the Graham family of Kirklinton, Carlisle. In 1780 at the age of thirty-three he went to India to seek his fortune and worked for the East India Company. He returned to England in 1790 where he built Barrock Lodge near Carlisle a year later. A few years later he returned to India where he held several senior posts before finally returning to England in 1804 to found the Carlisle New Bank.
