About the piece
Painted around 1880 by Sándor Liezen-Mayer, this formal oil portrait depicts Henry de Worms, 1st Baron Pirbright, a prominent British statesman and historian. The subject is captured in a moment of quiet contemplation, seated with a newspaper in hand. The artist uses a dark, moody palette that draws focus to the luminous and detailed rendering of the subject's face, conveying both intelligence and social standing.
