Augustus John Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
Augustus John NPG 4252
© National Portrait Gallery, London
by Sir William Orpen
Orpen and John met while studying at the Slade and became constant companions. Fifty years later John criticised this portrait for not conveying 'the shy, dreamy and reticent character of its model'. It is in fact one of Orpen's finest early portraits of a young artist whose behaviour was often far from 'reticent'.
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
