Desbrowe Annear is a 1924 unspecified by William Beckwith McInnes, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting depicts a man sitting in a chair, dressed in formal attire. He is wearing a dark suit, a white shirt, and a bow tie. The man is holding a pen in his right hand, and there is a piece of paper on the table in front of him. The background of the painting is dark, and the man's face is illuminated by a soft light. The man's expression is serious, and he appears to be deep in thought. The painting's style is realistic, with attention to detail in the man's clothing and the objects in the room. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. For more information about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up William Beckwith McInnes.
William Beckwith McInnes (18 May 1889 – 9 November 1939) was an Australian portrait painter, winner of the Archibald Prize seven times for his work.
