On a short visit back to England from France, Christine painted portraits of both Stella Fry and her son Michael Fry simultaneously (see the diary entries for the overlapping dates). They were done as a “Thank You”. There are more details on the Fry family by Stella’s portrait.

The painting is a very good likeness of Michael, despite the short amount of time required for its completion, which was mainly constrained by the availability of the subject. An interesting three-quarter view instead of Christine’s more usual face-on approach.
