The artwork entitled “Covenanters” was created by George Harvey in the year 1830. This piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork depicts two individuals seated closely together, engaged in what appears to be an intense or secretive conversation. The male figure, holding a rifle, is barefoot and appears to be deep in thought or listening intently, while the female figure, draped in a headscarf, gestures as she speaks. The background is minimalistic, allowing the focus to remain on the expressions and interaction of the two characters. The overall composition and the choice of earthy tones contribute to the evocative and somber mood characteristic of Romanticism.
