James Alexander, M.P. is a 1831 watercolor by George Richmond, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a man in a dark coat and white cravat, sitting with one arm resting on the back of a chair. His face is pale with light hair, and he’s looking slightly to the side with a calm expression. The background is just a soft wash of color—no details, just a plain wall. The signature at the bottom names him *James Alexander*, and the date is 1831, though the artist didn’t finish it until later. The loose brushstrokes give it a quick, almost sketchy feel. Next, check out Richmond, George—the artist who made this.
