The interplay between light and shadow creates an atmosphere that evokes tranquility amidst untamed wilderness. Shifting gears once again, we encounter "Portrait of William Pitt, " capturing him standing confidently three-quarter length dressed in dark attire. This painting pays homage to Pitt's significant role as Prime Minister during challenging times for Britain; it exudes authority while hinting at his unwavering commitment towards progress. "The Change" takes us back two centuries earlier when horse racing was already deeply ingrained within British society. With vibrant colors dancing across canvas, this artwork captures the exhilaration and energy of a horse race.
