Half-Length Portrait of a Cleric 

This charcoal drawing by John Constable, a renowned English landscape painter, depicts a half-length portrait of a cleric. The subject is presented in a formal pose, wearing a dark robe with a white collar, reflecting his clerical status. Constable's masterful use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and texture, subtly capturing the individual's features and the folds of his clothing. While Constable is best known for his landscape paintings, this portrait provides a glimpse into his skill in capturing the human form with expressive detail.
