The Duke of Wellington

Francisco de Goya, c. 1812

This painting is a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is positioned slightly to the left, with his head turned toward us. He has light skin, green eyes, a faint moustache, and a neutral expression. His hair appears brown, but is mostly concealed by his large, feathered black hat. He is dressed in a dark blue cloak or robe with a white lace collar underneath. One of his hands is down at his side, while the other is placed on his chest. The background is a plain dark gray color.
