Portrait of George W. Russell (AE) (1867-1935), Poet, Artist and Economist is a 1898 oil by Sarah Purser, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
The painting depicts a man with a long brown beard and hair, wearing a dark jacket over a lighter-colored shirt. His arms are crossed, and he is looking directly at the viewer. The background is a mottled brown color. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be gazing intently into the distance. His beard and hair are well-groomed, and his clothing appears to be simple yet elegant. This portrait is reminiscent of the work of Sarah Purser, an artist known for her detailed and expressive depictions of people.
