This painting shows an older man in a dark suit, with a blue and white shirt and a red scarf around his neck. He has white hair and is holding a white object in his right hand. The background is dark, with a red carpet under his feet. The man's face is serious, and he looks like he's thinking deeply. His clothes are formal, and he has a few medals on his chest. The overall mood of the painting is somber and dignified. This portrait of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, was painted by an unknown artist in 1850.
