A Winged Angel in Profile is a 1920 oil by Harry Clarke, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a winged angel in profile, with a halo around their head. The angel is dressed in a long, flowing robe and has large wings that are visible behind them. The angel's face is serene, with a gentle expression. Their wings are detailed, with feathers that are carefully rendered. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to focus attention on the angel. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the painting. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
Henry Patrick Clarke (17 March 1889 – 6 January 1931) was an Irish stained-glass artist and book illustrator.
