Portrait of Mr G K Chesterton seeks to capture an elusive idea

Ernest Marriott

Summary

Portrait of an oversized man seen in profile to the left holding a feather with his right hand. His head and limbs are not in proportion with the rest of the body, they are too small. Subject's face is pink, he has curly blond hair and wears glasses. He is looking up staring at the feather in his hand. He is holding a bunch of papers with his left hand. Behind him there is a large white cloud and birds. On the bottom left one can see the roof top of a church and a spire, he is flying above. There is a black hat on the top right corner.
