This portrait work is the second in my Philip Larkin series. I adore this composition which comes from Larkin's photo archive.
I believe it is from a trip to Ireland where he and Monica met students and lecturers.


What is striking for me is the posture on Monica - it captures her personality in a weird way.

The canvas is a box type, unframed and ready to hang.

Enjoy xx
