Triple Portrait (after Giorgione) is a 1830 oil by Andrew Geddes, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting, "Triple Portrait (after Giorgione)", features three individuals in Renaissance attire. The man in the center wears a dark jacket with a red sash, while the woman on the left has a red hat and a white lace top. The man on the right sports a red and white hat. The subjects are depicted in a formal, somewhat stiff manner, with their faces turned slightly away from the viewer. The overall mood is somber, with muted colors dominating the palette. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. For more on this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
