Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Iris Murdoch NPG 5921

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Tom Phillips

The portrait was painted in the artist's London studio. In the background is a detail from Titian's The Flaying of Marsyas, a painting exhibited at the Royal Academy at the time artist and sitter met and the subject of conversations between them. Phillips described Murdoch as 'a luminous presence…an electric light-bulb in that gloomy corner, glowing, casting out darkness'.
