Dr Alfred Leslie Rowse (1903–1997) 

This painting, "Dr Alfred Leslie Rowse (1903–1997)", was created by British artist John Bratby. The portrait features Dr. Rowse in a close-up view. The artist utilizes a thick application of paint, creating an impasto effect that emphasizes texture and adds a sense of immediacy to the work. Bratby's style is characterized by its expressive brushstrokes and bold colors, making the portrait a powerful representation of the sitter. The painting captures Dr. Rowse's distinctive features, including his glasses, with a certain degree of realism, yet the artist also takes liberties with the colors and form, making the piece both representational and abstract. This portrait, typical of Bratby's style, is a striking and memorable image of a prominent figure.
