Lily Waldron, Portrait Of A Gentleman With A TrilbyA fabulous early 20th century portrait of an older gentleman wearing a coat, scarf and slanted trilby hat. His eyes suggest a wisdom and quick wit, while his dapper fashion sense is borderline theatrical. We love the way that Waldron has captured the hint of a smile as if he could speak at any moment.

We particularly love his carefully coiffured grey beard and thick bushy eyebrows

It’s a captivating portrayal that’s been painted with confidence and energy
