I particularly like the Richard III portrait.

It is Dalis cubism. Powerful and interesting.

There is so much character and information in all of these.

Lots to digest again.

And a fourth great portrait
(his very best? in Velazquez style)

Salvador Dali - Equestrian Fantasy - Portrait of Lady Dunn (oil on canvas, 1954)

I bet she was delighted with this.

It is classic, different and puts over a powerful image.

I'm very impressed.

My favorite too, Roger. Here is Dali portraying him from the natural.

Here is another portrait of Sir James Dunn by Dali - perhaps better known than the previous one.

Salvador Dali - Portrait of Sir James Dunn (oil on canvas, 1958)

Sir James was one of Dali's few real friends. The affluence comes through in this image but also there is a soft feeling of love and familiarity.

A fine painting, understated which makes it work.
