This is a head and shoulders portrait of Charles James Hanson, a pharmacist with premises on Petergate. He was also Governor of the Company of Merchant Adventurers from 1832–1834 and Sheriff of York in 1831.

This portrait was most likely painted when the sitter was Sheriff of York in 1831. He is wearing Governors’ robes, and faces out, with his left shoulder slightly towards us. His face is framed by long fashionable sideburns.
