Colonel Richard Wogan Talbot, 2nd Baron Talbot de Malahide (c.1766-1849) is a 1840 oil by Giovanni Battista Cassevari, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a man sitting in a chair, holding a book. He is wearing a dark suit and has short, white hair. The chair has red upholstery with gold trim. The man's face is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. His right hand rests on the book, and his left hand is on the arm of the chair. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the man and the chair stand out. The artist used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and contrast in the painting.
Giovanni Battista Cassevari (1789–1876) was an artist, born in Genoa.
