John Russell is a Rococo painting artist. 10 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

John Russell painted pastel portraits in late-1700s England, capturing sitters with soft strokes and delicate hues. His works in this set include Mrs. William Man Godschall from 1791 and Mrs. Robert Shurlock and Her Daughter Ann from 1801. You can tap into the powdery texture of his Portrait of a Girl in a Bonnet or flip to the era’s defining pastel tradition.
