This oil painting, "Head of an Apostle" by George Romney, is a study in intense emotion. The subject's face is rendered in great detail, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the human form. The figure's wide, expressive eyes, open mouth, and furrowed brow convey a powerful sense of anxiety and distress, likely reflecting the artist's exploration of religious themes. While the exact date of creation is unknown, the work exemplifies the style of Romanticism that flourished during Romney's lifetime.
