Gustav Mahler by James Underwood

Well I certainly like it , it looks fine to me .

I like it too. One of my favourite composers.

It's always hard to get a portrait from photographs, but that's obviously all you had, and this is totally recognizable as the great man that Mahler was. It just takes a feature to be a centimetre off-whack, and the likeness has gone - depending on where that centimetre was. Always the mouth with me - get that wrong, and it's Goodnight Vienna.

A good portrait.

Worth sticking with it James, like it a lot

Thank you Paul, Colin, Robert, Christine and Heather. Portraiture is the least forgiving form of art, particularly when the subject is a familiar face, so I’m very grateful for your comments.

Can't resist a comment- I spent one school holiday long ago with my aunt's family in a village about half a mile from his birthplace, Kaliste in Czechoslovakia. He has a plaque on the house of his birth.
