The First But Not The Last

Portrait of a Judge, commissioned by her sons, who requested her portrait in the style of Leslie Ward’s ‘SPY’ cartoons.

The title is in reference to her being the first female Asian judge in the uk.

These are gentle caricatures, nothing too extreme. As Leslie Ward (Spy) said: ‘If I could sum up the art in a sentence, it would be that caricature should be a comic impression with a kindly touch, and always devoid of vulgarity’.
