Andrew Dunn

Andrew Dunn is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Andrew Dunn kept a studio above a London coffeehouse, where he sketched officers over breakfast buns between cups of tea. He gave their uniforms the same crisp attention he gave stubble on a chin or a crease between a man’s eyebrows, small details that made faces feel real. If you want to see his knack up close, tap Portrait of an Officer and look at how the gold buttons catch the light; the whole portrait lives in those tiny flashes.
