The artwork, titled “Alfred Lord Tennyson,” was created by Julia Margaret Cameron in 1869. This piece, which belongs to the Romanticism movement, is a photograph.
The artwork portrays a distinguished, middle-aged man with a contemplative expression. His bushy, wavy hair frames his face and he possesses a full beard, which adds to his dignified appearance. He is dressed formally, wearing a dark suit with a white shirt underneath, complemented by a bow tie. The background of the artwork is dark, which not only highlights the subject but also evokes a sense of solemnity and introspection. The lighting is soft, lending a timeless quality to the photograph and emphasizing the textures and details of the subject’s visage and attire.
