Portrait of a gentleman
English and from the first quarter of the 20th century
Smartly dressed and ready for business. The gentleman looks how the majority of us feel during a short photo shoot… fed up! His eyes follow you around the room as if to remind you that he is there
Victorian design in the portrait itself is based around an oval, like the majority of miniatures were during the 19th century. The small tears intensify the moody and almost grungy feel to the painting
Remember…. he is watching you
