The artwork, titled “James Drummond,” was created by the artist John Riley around the year 1670. This portrait belongs to the Baroque art movement.
In the artwork, the subject is depicted in an oval frame, exuding an air of sophistication. The subject, a man with elaborate curls falling to his shoulders, is adorned in a richly detailed attire. His face, rendered with delicate brush strokes, bears a composed and slightly inquisitive expression. The background is dark, which emphasizes the luminosity and textures of the subject, creating a dramatic contrast typical of the Baroque period.
