About William Wilberforce (1759–1833)

The artwork titled “William Wilberforce (1759–1833)” is a portrait created by John Russell, belonging to the Rococo art movement. The gentleman depicted is attired formally in dark clothing, his visage illuminated against a dim backdrop. His left hand holds a rolled document, adding a sense of purpose or accomplishment to the pose. The background features rich earth tones and subtle light, possibly suggesting an atmospheric setting with a warm glow. There is a notable refinement in the individual’s expression, characterized by a slightly rosy complexion and a soft, contemplative gaze. The attention to detail, particularly in the texture of the garments and the nuanced play of light and shadow, is indicative of Russell’s skill in the Rococo style, capturing both the elegance and the inner life of the subject.
