1834
unspecified
From the collection of National Gallery of Ireland
The Artist's Father is a 1834 unspecified by William Mulready, a Realism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting is a portrait of a man, possibly the artist's father, as suggested by the title. He is shown in profile, wearing a black hat and coat, with a white shirt and a yellow vest underneath. The background is dark, with some lighter areas that might be a wall or a window. The man's face is serious, with a slight furrowed brow and a pursed mouth. His eyes seem to be looking off into the distance, giving the impression that he is lost in thought. The overall mood of the painting is somber and introspective. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this portrait, you might want to look up William Mulready.
William Mulready was an Irish genre painter living in London. He is best known for his romanticising depictions of rural scenes, and for creating Mulready stationery letter sheets, issued at the same time as the Penny Black postage stamp.
