Two weekends ago I had the chance to visit the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney and see the finalists for the Archibald prize. It is the most prestigious prize for portraiture in Australia. I am sharing some of my favourites here. I didn't post a photo of the winner because it wasn't one of my favourites. You can see the winner here: https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/prizes/archibald/2019/
Beautiful large portrait. Love the reflection captured.
A good depiction of Benjamin Law.
I like the reference to The girl with the pearl earring.
Love the magnolias.
