This portraitback to top
It is possible that Sutherland learnt from the distinguished cartoonist David Low the virtues of observing his sitters in numerous, rapid sketches. Always a prolific artist when working on a theme, his portrait commissions are characterised by the number and variety of preparatory sketches and studies.
