"Ariel" is an oil painting by English artist George Romney. It depicts a nude male figure, likely Ariel, a character from Shakespeare’s play The Tempest. The figure is shown in mid-air, with his body contorted in a dynamic pose. The painting utilizes warm tones, with a strong emphasis on earthy browns. The subject is depicted with a degree of realism that was typical of Romney's work. Despite the lack of details regarding the painting's date or location, it is a fine example of Romney’s art, a noted portrait painter who produced various mythological and historical paintings as well.
