I love this - a detail from Alison Watt's extraordinary triptych of paintings based on Oliver Cromwell's death mask.
Oil on canvas.
Incredibly lifelike, even in death.
It's part of Watt's wonderful new exhibition, From Light, which opens at Pitzhanger Manor today.
‘If you are not at the table, you are on the menu.’
Wonderful! 👏
No lovelier place of a winter’s evening than John Sandoe Books 🧡

My pleasure! It was really lovely to meet you all. They are a credit to you and your school.
