Thank you Dixie.

Another splendid portrait, your work is always a pleasure to see.

Formidable drawing too Jiri

Great pencil work.

He thanked an admirer for sending him a drawing of himself, but expressed the hope that the artist might "give a little more attention to the nose" (not an exact quote, though I could find it if required) which seemed to be coming out to meet an old friend... He did have quite a beak: I drew him myself, but wouldn't dare send it to him. One of our rather few great men of the last 100 years, and - you've got the nose right: Bertie would be pleased.

I am always impressed by your portraits Jiri.

Just amazingly lovely, Jiri

pencil drawing 30 x 20 cm I saw him on Trafalgar Sq in early seventies, speaking. He was in his nineties. Formidable.
