The Roper | Tony Black

The Roper, a fantastic original painting by artist Tony Black.

A word from the artist:

A little while back I was watching television in a pub when a certain blond-haired politician came on the screen. It was a nice family pub, very cosy, so it was a little jarring to hear the phrase, “hanging’s too good for him” come from one of the punters. I made a few sketches a few days later, based on the experience, but The Roper is obviously not a portrait - his tie’s too straight for a start.
