About the piece
Painted by Richard Dadd in 1839, this oil-on-panel portrait depicts his fellow artist Augustus Egg. Dressed in 17th-century historical attire with a prominent tall hat, the subject is captured with a contemplative expression and masterful control of light against a dark, atmospheric background.
