This picture, along with the preceding one and a nude study can currently be viewed at the 102nd Clifton Arts Club Annual Exhibition in Bristol. The exhibition runs until the 31st of July and is open 10 – 4.30 pm weekdays and 10 – 4.00 pm Sundays. It is a mixed exhibition, consisting mainly of landscape studies by professional and amateur artists. The work was selected and hung by three members of the Royal West of England Academy including the new President, Simon Quadrat.

The painting here is approximately 3 x 4 ft in size, done in acrylic paint on canvas. The title reflects the subject: ‘Portrait of a young woman’. Set against the backdrop of a Victorian Gothic window, the young woman poses in a green velvet dress with dramatic, late January sunlight playing over her features. Done in part from observation and photo reference, it is a good account of the young woman and has a feeling of optimism about it, in spite of the current economic gloom. 6000 gbp.
