Artist and Model 2 by Jack Vettriano

Poetic immortalization of creative work and intimate dialogue between artist and model, this large studio portrait charms through its luminous realism. Entitled “Artist and Model 2”, this exceptional creation designed by Jack Vettriano shows the painter conversing with his muse in his workspace. The artist favors natural clarity highlighting the bond between both figures.

The painter dressed in a blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a dark apron leans against his wooden easel, a cigarette in hand. He attentively observes the young woman seated in three-quarter view before him, dressed in a magnificent night-blue strapless evening gown. The model with curly dark hair leans against a stack of books placed on a furniture piece. The artist studio background reveals a British flag hung on the light wall, shelves filled with brush pots, and framed painting studies. Bright daylight enters from the right, illuminating faces.

Jack Vettriano demonstrates masterly talent in organizing the composition and precision of studio details. His command of oil painting gives the night-blue dress and accessories a materiality of superior aesthetic quality.
