Portrait of Jedediah Strutt is a 1790 portrait painting by the British artist Joseph Wright of Derby. [1] It depicts the English manufacturer of clothes and cotton spinner Jedediah Strutt. It was produced the same year as another large painting by Wright of a self-made Derby industrialist Richard Arkwright, a former business partner of Strutt .However, Strutt chose to be depicted with books rather than as an industrialist. [2]
Today the painting is in the collection of the Derby Museum and Art Gallery, having been acquired in 1976. [3]
