Portrait of Arthur Sullivan is an 1888 portrait painting by the British artist John Everett Millais. It depicts the English composer Arthur Sullivan, best known for his long-standing collaboration with the dramatist W. S. Gilbert.[1]
Millais had made his mark as a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, but his work altered to reflect a more mainstream academic style. Towards the latter stages of his career he produced a number of fashionable high society portraits. In this picture Millais depicts Sullivan as an elegant figure of the late Victorian era.[2]
Sullivan bequeathed the painting to the National Portrait Gallery in London, where it remains on display.[3]
