Description
print of the cricketer T. Hearn. A male figure standing in a relaxed pose, hand on hip, right hand holding a black handled cricket bat which extends to the ground at an angle to his body. The portrait is finely drawn. Hearn wears a grey peaked cap or beret and sports a beard with side whiskers, clean of his sheaved chin and upper lip. He wears a buff shirt, white collar and blue neck tie tied in a loose knot. The trousers are also white and closely tailored and are secured with a belt. He wears black shoes. The background is intended to be a cricket pitch and to the left is a patched triangular shaped canvas tent, standing in front of trees in the middle distance. to the right of Hearn is a small two storey cottage with picket fence. The cottage has a central chimney, and a covered porch. The cottage is partly obscured by trees and is surrounded by trees. the work is framed under glass and has an acid free mount, recently fitted. The frame is in Rosewood, veneered on pine, which appears to be roughly contemporary with the work.
