The Mid-Day Meal

George Morland

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated in a relaxed position, looking to the left and holding something small. He has short dark hair, wears a light-colored shirt with a large collar, a bright scarf tied at the neck, light-colored trousers, long light-colored socks, and buckled shoes. The background is simple with shaded strokes, and the overall image is composed in pencil or charcoal with some colored accents.
