EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed Sir Thomas More, a prominent figure in history.

Sir Thomas More was not just an influential statesman but also a devout Roman Catholic. His dedication to his faith is evident in his serene expression and saintly aura that emanates from this painting. The chain of office he wears symbolizes his high position as Lord Chancellor of England during Queen Elizabeth's reign. The exquisite attention to detail is apparent in every stroke of watercolor and gouache on paper, bringing out the richness of More's fur collar and hat. These elements add a touch of elegance to his appearance, emphasizing his status as a respected author and Privy Councillor. As one gazes upon this masterpiece, it becomes clear why Sir Thomas More was revered for both his intellect and integrity.
