This print showcases the renowned Lytton Strachey, a prominent figure in the intellectual circles of early 20th century England. Painted by Dora Carrington in 1916, this oil on canvas portrait captures Strachey's essence with remarkable precision. Strachey, with his piercing gaze behind round spectacles, exudes an air of intellect and wisdom. His distinguished beard adds to his aura of sophistication and maturity. Clad in a red attire that contrasts beautifully against the neutral background, he emanates a sense of confidence and individuality.
