Leighton - Jones "clown with red hair"

Description

 

The 'Clown With Red Hair' is one of Leighton-Jones' best-loved and most successful images. It was reproduced in a number of formats including a lithograph printed on canvas, published in the 1970s. It was produced as an unlimited edition and best estimates suggest it sold in excess of a million copies. These canvas lithographs are often mistaken for an original painting but a close inspection can ascertain the actual media.
 
While not instantly obvious, many observers have indicated that the painting may be a self-portrait. On the matter Leighton-Jones' commented that "Everything we do as an artist can in some way be considered to be a self-portrait." - leaving the matter still open for discussion! This print is no longer available. See faq's for valuation.
