Best Face Forward
Portraits from the Society's Collection
April through September 2009

Theodore Studwell (1890–1987)

Oil on canvas Delos Palmer (1890–1960) PC173c-3 Gift of Barbara Hawkins

Palmer painted portraits of many male friends in Stamford. In this one the sitter is portrayed in a garden. It is interesting to see the detail in the sitter’s portrait contrasting with the almost abstract landscape.
