Sorting through my old work I came across this old ink painting 18x12in. Can't remember the year I painted it or the name of the subject, does any one know who it is? Thank you.

I don't know Fred but I love the work

Lovely work Fred. Who is it, do tell.

This is super, Fred - a lovely composition and such great use of shapes and negative spaces.

No ideas either Fred but it looks good, quite intriguing

Thank you all for your comments. Must have painted it twenty odd years ago and can't remember where I got the image from.

That's a lovely piece Fred really well done , the minute I saw it I thought of Aubery Beardsley who did very detailed work but also less detailed depending on the subject , also it reminds me of book page from a book of Shakespearses sonnets I had many years ago :)

Thank you Dermot, to be compared with Beardsley, Wow!

A wonderful image, Fred—I love it.
