1850
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
William Richard Hamilton (1777-1859) is a 1850 by Charles Baugniet, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white print of an older man sitting in a fancy chair. He’s dressed in a long coat, cravat, and stockings, holding a small object in his left hand. The background is plain, keeping all focus on him. The name at the bottom calls him "William Richard Hamilton," and it says he worked for the Society of Antiquaries. His serious expression and careful pose suggest he was someone important. If you like this style, check out Realism for more portraits that focus on everyday people.
The lithograph depicts William Richard Hamilton, an antiquary and Secretary of the Society of Dilettanti, created by Charles Baugniet in 1850.
