Gabriel Lewis created this beautiful portrait using the time-honoured sight-size method, drawing inspiration from the techniques of the renowned John Singer Sargent. This method involves placing the sitter and canvas side by side, and then the artist takes several strides back to view the subject from a distance. The sitter, Shannice, is a talented illustrator working in the heart of Florence. 📍 Find this work on display in the Herbert Smith Freehills Portrait Award 2024 ⭐ Admission free 📅 On until 27 October 🎨 Shannice, Florentine Woman, 2023 by Gabriel Lewis © Gabriel Lewis
