Oil on panel, 12 x 16 inches

The intimacy of this portrait centres around the sitter’s comfort in their own home, an invitation to the painter and viewer alike to see them unbuttoned and at ease. As with many of these paintings done in one sitting from life, the familiarity and connection between artist and sitter is inclusive of the viewer. The gaze is welcoming.

Uncradled wooden panel. Sent with certificate of authenticity, signed on reverse.
