The Doctor (Unframed Print)

The picture is printed by Thomas Ross Ltd in the traditional way from from the original engraved copper plate. As part of this process, each print has an authentic plate mark impression in the paper surrounding the image - it literally is the embossed mark left from the copper printing plate.

The black-and-white print is then water-coloured entirely by hand to produce a very attractive, high quality and individual piece of art. It is as close as you can get to the original painting. A Certificate of Authenticity from Thomas Ross Ltd accompanies each print.

About Luke Fildes
Sir Samuel Luke Fildes was born in Liverpool in 1843. He studied there as a painter, coming to London as a painter of portraits. His first work was as an illustrator for several magazines. Recommended by Sir John Everett Millais, Dickens commissioned him to illustrate his last novel 'Edwin Drood'. A gifted painter of portraits, his interest in people can be seen in his crowd scenes where the characters are depicted true to life. He was also admired as a painter of the harsh social realities of his time as described by Dickens. Member RA.
