Sir William Alison Russell 

This portrait of Sir William Alison Russell was created by Australian artist George Washington Lambert. Lambert, a renowned painter, was known for his realistic depictions of figures, often showcasing them in formal settings. The painting features Russell in a crisp white suit against a soft, muted background. His confident posture and relaxed yet composed expression suggest a man of status and authority. The inclusion of the hat adds a subtle touch of informality to the overall composition. This portrait is a classic example of Lambert's masterful ability to capture both the physical likeness and the character of his subjects.
