Self Portrait by Alfred East |
|
|
| This confident painting was produced by the artist just one year before his death. The painter totally dominates the canvass, sharply outlined in the foreground, with a background verging on impressionistic. It is a remarkable image, and very rare amongst his output. East shows himself totally in control, and is every inch the distinguished artist at the height of his powers. |
