Harriet Walter – Portrait

Harriet Walter by Virginie Martin Blaise is an oil-on-canvas-board portrait that captures the subject with dignity and quiet authority through a refined figurative approach.

Depicted in profile, the sitter emerges against a neutral background that emphasizes structure and expression. Subtle variations of light and tone articulate the face, while precise brushwork conveys both physical presence and accumulated experience.

This portrait belongs to an ongoing body of work focused on contemporary figures approached through classical compositional principles. The intimate scale encourages close observation, reinforcing the psychological depth and restraint of the image.
