The Constable of the Night is a 1783 ink by William Dickinson, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people in a dimly lit room. There's a man sitting on a chair, wearing a big hat and a chain around his neck. He's holding a stick in his hand. The others are standing around him, some with sticks or clubs. The room is dark, with only a few candles lighting it up. The painting has a lot of shadows, which makes it look mysterious. The people in the painting seem to be in the middle of something, but it's not clear what. If you like this painting, you might want to check out other works by the Romanticism movement.
William Dickinson (1746–1823) was a British artist, born in London.
