Oliver Cromwell is a 1723 ink by Peter Pelham, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man, likely a historical figure, dressed in 17th-century attire. He wears a suit of armor over a shirt with a high collar and a cloak draped over his left shoulder. His long, wavy hair frames his face, which is turned slightly to the right. The background is a dark, muted color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The contrast between light and dark areas adds a sense of drama and tension to the image.
