Portrait of a Gentleman - Scottish oil painting mid 20th century art
By William Oliphant Hutchinson
Located in London, GB
An original large Scottish portrait oil by noted Scottish artist William Oliphant Hutchinson. The work is a portrait of a gentleman, in a suit, with a rose in his lapel.

Housed in a gallery frame, 43 inches by 35 inches framed and in good condition.
