William Dallas Ross (died 1931) is a 1897 oil by Robert Brough, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
The painting is a portrait of a man, depicted in a realistic style. He is shown from the chest up, wearing a dark jacket with a white shirt and a dark tie. His right hand is raised to his head, with his fingers curled around his ear. The man's face is turned slightly to the right, and he looks directly at the viewer with a serious expression. His hair is dark and neatly styled, and he has a short beard and mustache. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The painting is rendered in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes that give it a textured appearance. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Robert Brough.
