1820
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Rev. John Clowes is a 1820 ink by Edward Scriven, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man sitting in a chair, with his right arm resting on a table and his left hand holding a book. He is dressed in dark attire, with a white shirt and a black coat. The background of the painting features a wall with a window and a curtain. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be engaged in thought. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists associated with the Romanticism movement.
Edward Scriven (1775 – 23 August 1841) was an English engraver of portraits, in the stipple and chalk manner. Scriven was the pre-eminent engraver of his generation, with 210 portraits ascribed to him by the National Portrait Gallery.
