THE DUTCHESS OF CORSHAM
No Laura this is not a “typo” (Laura Parker one of our resident artists very kindly corrects my numerous spelling errors) the story behind this: this is the title of a commission for a Dutch lady (thus the spelling of dutchess)from Corsham who wanted a surprise Christmas present for her husband who is building a private pub in their garden. The painting is based on an old Elizabethan image with the portrait of the dutch lay superimposed.
