A Roman Patrician 1882

"A Roman Patrician" is a painting by American artist Francis Davis Millet, created in 1882. The artwork depicts a Roman man standing in a white toga, his serious expression and contemplative posture hinting at the gravitas of his social status. Millet's use of muted tones and soft lighting creates a sense of realism, capturing the details of the toga's folds and the subject's features. The painting is a testament to Millet's skill in capturing the essence of historical figures, making it a compelling example of 19th-century historical portraiture.
