1828
unspecified
From the collection of Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Portrait of Henry Robinson is a 1828 unspecified by Rembrandt Peale, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The painting is a portrait of a man with curly brown hair and a serious expression. He wears a black coat over a white cravat, which is tied in a bow at his neck. The background of the painting is a mottled brown color. The man's face is rendered in fine detail, with subtle shading that gives the impression of depth and volume. His eyes are cast downward, as if lost in thought. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the technique.
Rembrandt Peale (February 22, 1778 – October 3, 1860) was an American artist and museum keeper.
