Maggie

NOT FOR SALE; EXAMPLE ONLY

​Maggie is a pencil and pastel commissioned

portrait by Ellen Rice, created for Maggie's grandfather

to match the style of portraits his late wife had

commissioned of their other five grandchildren many years

earlier. Maggie was an unexpected late arrival and

the apple of her granddad's eye.

Her grandfather passed on shortly after Maggie's portrait

was completed. Her dad said her granddad was very happy

that his late wife's desire to have all of their grandchildren

painted was fulfilled.

When the father came in the gallery to let Ellen know his dad had

passed on, he told her that the portrait looks more like Maggie

than the photograph from which Ellen drew it. 

​

​"I don't know how you did that!," he said.

Private commission. No prints available.

​Portrait likenesses are guaranteed by Ellen.
