Portrait of John Tyndall (1820-1893)
A late, informal study of the white-haired John Tyndall at 73 years. Half-length, the sitter is in a relaxed, contemplative posture, lounging back in his chair. His hands rest in his lap with fingers interlaced. Apparently caught in thought while writing, an open silver ink-well is on the table in front, with paper and pen. A bookcase occupies the right-hand background, but Tyndall's head and shoulders are framed by a dark cushion. John Tyndall was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1852.
Original: oil on canvas, 460x610mm. ca. 1893
