About the piece
This 1831 oil painting by John Linnell captures the likeness of painter William Collins. The work is characterized by its sophisticated use of chiaroscuro, with the warm, luminous tones of the subject's face emerging from a deep, textured background, exemplifying the refined portraiture of the British Romantic era.
