About the piece
This 1817 portrait by Scottish artist Andrew Geddes depicts Charles Lenox Cumming-Bruce in a rich ensemble of Turkish garments, reflecting the period's fascination with the 'Orient'. The subject sits in a relaxed pose with a long pipe, while the Athenian Acropolis rises in the atmospheric distance, blending personal portraiture with romanticized classical history.
