Theodore Jacobsen

Portrait of Theodore Jacobsen is a 1746 portrait painting by the British artist Thomas Hudson. It depicts the merchant and architect Theodore Jacobsen. Jacobsen was a London-born merchant of German parentage, who was a keen amateur architect. One of the governors of the newly-created Foundling Hospital, he was commissioned to design the building. He is shown standing at full-length with the architectural plans in his hands. The portrait was made for display at the Foundling Hospital, which Jacobsen had designed, and the plan he holds represents the building.
