Portrait of a Young Gentleman Surrounded by Cupids; Lord Byron?

British 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a bust of a man surrounded by a decorative arrangement. The person is depicted from the chest up and is in a semi-profile position, slightly turned to the right. His facial features include a defined nose, full lips, and his gaze directed upward. He has curly hair styled with volume, and sideburns that frame his face. The man is wearing formal attire with a high-collared shirt and an ascot, accompanied by a double-breasted coat with visible buttons. Surrounding him are three cherubic figures with wings, two to his left and one to his right, engaged in playful poses. Next to the cherub on the right is a harp. The background features an arrangement of what appears to be floral garlands. The engraving is set against a textured, plain background with faint speckles or marks.
