Portrait of Lord Grantham 1816

This 1816 pencil drawing by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, "Portrait of Lord Grantham," is a fine example of the artist's Neoclassical style. The subject is depicted in a realistic and detailed manner, with a focus on precise lines and form, characteristic of Ingres's approach. The subject, Lord Grantham, stands confidently in a formal pose, his clothing and accessories highlighting his high social standing. The background, though indistinct, provides a sense of depth and context, suggesting an urban setting. This drawing showcases Ingres's masterful ability to capture both the physical likeness and the character of his sitter.
