The Artist's Father, William Hunt

William Holman Hunt

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man in profile, depicted in pencil or ink on paper. He has distinctive facial features including a prominent nose and chin, with a contemplative expression. He has combed back hair, sideburns blending into facial stubble, and is wearing a dark jacket over a light-colored shirt with a necktie. The background is plain, and the portrait is drawn on textured paper in warm, earthy tones.
