EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Sir Walter Westley Russell RA, a renowned British artist of the early 20th century. The image, created by the talented Philippe Ledoux, captures Russell's distinctive features with a playful and humorous touch. Russell's signature monocle and bushy mustache are exaggerated in the drawing, adding to the whimsical charm. Sir Walter Westley Russell was born on October 23, 1867, in London, England. He studied at the Royal Academy Schools and was elected a Royal Academician in 1911. Known for his portraits and figure studies, Russell's works were regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy and other prestigious galleries. The caricature, believed to have been created around 1930, showcases the artist in a more informal setting, highlighting his unique personality. Russell's monocle is perched precariously on his nose, and his mustache is rendered in intricate detail, curling upwards in a mischievous grin. The artist's signature bow tie and formal attire add to the sense of elegance and refinement. Philippe Ledoux was a French artist who was known for his caricatures and illustrations. His work was published in various magazines and journals, including Punch and Vanity Fair. Ledoux's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with wit and humor is evident in this delightful caricature of Sir Walter Westley Russell RA. This postcard-sized print offers a glimpse into the lighter side of the art world during the 1930s, showcasing the playful and irreverent side of one of Britain's most esteemed artists. The combination of Russell's distinguished career and Ledoux's artistic talent results in a captivating and entertaining work of art that continues to delight viewers to this day.
