The Artist's Father (John Yellowlees, 1748 - 1831) is a 1835 oil by William Yellowlees, held at National Galleries Scotland.
The painting depicts a man with a receding hairline, wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt and a red cravat. His hands are clasped together in front of him. The background is dark, with subtle hints of texture. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal portrait from the past. The artist's use of dark colors and subtle texture creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. To learn more about the artist's technique, explore the use of chiaroscuro in his work.
William Yellowlees (1796 in Mellerstain – 1855 in London) was a Scottish painter.
