About the piece
Created in 1793 by the renowned English artist John Russell, this portrait depicts George de Ligne Gregory with a gentle, dignified expression. The work showcases Russell's exceptional ability to capture soft textures, from the fine powder of the wig to the delicate ruffles of the lace cravat, all set against a subtly graded atmospheric background.
