Cromwell's Saints is a 1862 oil by John Pettie, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows three men in a room. The man on the left wears a black hat and coat. He sits on a barrel, looking at the other two men. The man in the middle wears a white headband and a brown coat. He sits on a barrel, too, and holds a piece of paper. The man on the right wears a red shirt. He leans against the wall, smoking a pipe. The room is dimly lit, with a window on the left side. There are some objects on the floor, like a bottle and a piece of cloth. The painting has warm colors, like brown and yellow. The artist, John Pettie, used oil paint to create this scene. The painting is held at the Scottish National Gallery. If you want to learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
