About the piece

Painted in 1918 by Ambrose McEvoy, this oil portrait depicts Brigadier General Arthur M. Asquith in his military uniform. The work showcases McEvoy's signature fluid style, with luminous skin tones emerging from a dark, atmospheric background that lends a sense of gravity and historical presence. It is a striking example of early 20th-century British portraiture.
