I knew it! I’ve seen this portrait at the British Museum. How frustrating (for me) that the exhibit about this artist is only coming to New York…
So much nicer than a photograph.
Very detailed portrait. Nice shading on his face. But the clothing from this time period is very interesting, especially the hat. Happy W-Wednesday!
What a nice portrait! The subject looks very soulful, doesn’t he?
I like the “thumb-smudge” shading on the forehead and beside the left eye.
