The artwork titled “Two Seated Men (Study for ‘The Covenanters’ Baptism’)” was created in 1830 by the artist George Harvey. This piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and is categorized as a sketch and study.
The artwork depicts two men seated closely together, with one individual positioned slightly behind the other. The man in the foreground, shown in profile, is holding a small book or object, appearing to be engrossed in it. He is dressed in a modest tunic and leggings, suggestive of the attire of the period. His slightly disheveled hair and focused demeanor convey a sense of earnest contemplation. The second man, positioned behind the first, is partially obscured but can be seen leaning in, perhaps in conversation or collaboration with his companion. The background remains unfinished, drawing attention entirely to the figures and adding to the study’s raw and authentic quality.
