Sir Gilbert Scott

Anna Lea Merritt, after George Richmond

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a portrait drawing of a man from the neck up, showing only the head and shoulders. He faces forward with a serious expression. The man appears to be of mature age, with distinct facial features such as a strong brow and cheekbones. His hair shows signs of thinning on top and he has sideburns. He wears a formal garment with a high collar. The portrait is rendered in a monochrome style, and the background is plain. There are inscriptions at the bottom right of the image.
