The artwork titled “Portrait of George de Ligne Gregory” was painted by John Russell in 1793. It belongs to the Rococo art movement and is a portrait genre piece.
In the artwork, the subject is depicted holding a hat with a soft, contemplative expression. He is adorned in late 18th-century attire, characterized by a white wig, formal coat, and a cravat. The background is understated, allowing the focus to remain on the subject’s refined features and attire. The use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional quality of the portrait, reflecting the Rococo era’s attention to detail and elegance.
