Photographic portrait of the artist John Shirlow.

[Circa 1931]. Gelatin silver print on textured paper, 390 x 310 mm, laid down on a contemporary mount of thick board, the print in fine condition (a tiny paper adhesion to lower edge). A superb portrait of the Melbourne artist John Shirlow – more noted for his etching than his painting – holding a brush and palette.

Another example of the same print (with identical dimensions) is held in the collection of the National Library of Australia.
