The color palette adds depth to his portrait, emphasizing his importance as a prominent figure in journalism during the 19th century. Russell's dedication to reporting from the frontlines of conflict is evident through his portrayal as a man of action. His involvement in covering major wars such as the Crimean War and Zulu War solidified his reputation as an esteemed war correspondent for renowned publications like The Times and The Daily Telegraph.
