Beautiful portrait.

Oh no, I hadn’t heard. Poor man. I don’t think he was ever likely to come out alive, and will we ever know how he died. I remember these from previously Marjorie, excellent.

Great portraits, Marjorie, and a sad news!

I’d just seen the breaking news about his death. Why did he go back! Of course he will have had reasons I would never know about but I feel so sad and shocked.

Yes he was brave to go back but… 🤷‍♀️

Beautifully drawn. A man of great principles and one willing to stand up for injustice. Such a sad day!

Great portraits Marjorie. An incredibly brave man. There was an inevitability about his death from the moment he returned to Russia. The latest in a line of opposition leaders that have died under this regime. May he rest in peace.

I've a feelimg these images may become as iconic as those depicting Guevara and Lenin. Beautifully captured, especially the graphite study to the left.
