Reverend Thomas Thirlwall of Bowers Gifford (1764–1827) is a 1800 oil by Unknown, a British Romanticism work, held at National Library of Wales.
This painting shows a man sitting in a chair, with his hand resting on his chin. He is wearing a dark jacket and a white shirt with a ruffled collar. The background is dark, with a hint of a bookshelf behind him. The man's expression is serious, and his posture suggests that he is deep in thought. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting, with strong contrasts between light and dark.
