Stunning, Russell. It's all beautifully realized, but the treatment of the hair is just so good.

Such a beautiful pastel portrait. The hair is very well done.

This is an outstanding portrait with superb tonal values, a wonderful wistful expression and definition of great cheek bones. Russell.

I knew it was Gray Strathmore Russell, it’s a wonderful paper as is this truly delightful and competent drawing.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. No Linda, it isn't Helen McRory, it's from a Victorian photograph I saw on Youtube.

superb Russell. I like profiles, they seem to be a different person to the one we might know as we usually see them face to face.
