EDITORS COMMENTS
Alfred Fowell Buxton, captured in 1917 by renowned artist Briton Riviere, is a striking portrait that exudes both wisdom and contemplation. The bearded gentleman sits with an air of serenity, his hand gently resting on his cheek as if lost in deep thought. The subtle details add to the allure of the image - the chain of his watch peeking out from beneath his waistcoat hints at a man who values punctuality and tradition. This remarkable piece belongs to the early 20th century, specifically the 1910s era, where Buxton's presence commands attention amidst a backdrop of societal change. Riviere's masterful use of oil paints brings depth and richness to every stroke, capturing not only Buxton's physical appearance but also revealing glimpses into his character. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this portrait invites viewers to delve into Buxton's world; a world filled with intellect and introspection. His beard adds an element of distinction while emphasizing masculinity and maturity. It serves as a reminder that behind every face lies stories waiting to be discovered. Buxton emerges as more than just a subject - he becomes an enigmatic figure whose essence lingers long after one gazes upon this print. This photograph stands as testament to both Riviere's artistic prowess and Buxton's enduring legacy.
