A portrait of Gwendolin, my neighbour. She is a tall, elegant, redhead of Welsh descent in her early 70s.
Painted in the artist's Australian studio during the COVID-19 April 2020 lockdown.
The elongated style is influenced by 16th century Mannerist painters Parmigianino and El Greco. I studied Renaissance History at Oxford University and these artists were among my favourites.
Comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity and is signed by the artist on the back.
