The judges thought this work beautifully captures the essence of the sitter.
They said “there is clearly a strong relationship between the sitter and the artist here - a reverence for the subject. The artwork transposes the European canon and expands on it. There is accomplished use of light and dark shadow. It is technically excellent.”
