Alick P F Ritchie, a talented artist of the 1920s, captured the essence and charisma of various notable figures in his captivating portraits. From Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, the British grocer turned yachtsman, to Sir Harry Lauder, the Scottish comedian who brought joy to audiences worldwide - Ritchie's brushstrokes immortalized their unique personalities. Intriguingly, Ritchie also depicted James Buchanan, Baron Woolavington - a British philanthropist and racehorse owner known for his generosity and love for equine pursuits. The portrait exudes elegance and nobility as it pays homage to this remarkable individual. Another masterpiece by Ritchie portrays Sir Henry Joseph Wood, a renowned British conductor whose passion for music resonated with audiences across generations. The painting captures Wood's commanding presence on stage as he leads an orchestra through symphonic masterpieces. Ritchie's artistic prowess extended beyond musicians and businessmen; he also portrayed influential politicians like John Wheatley from Scotland and James Henry Thomas from Britain. These portraits reflect their dedication to public service and their commitment to improving society. The collection further includes Rufus Isaacs, Marquess of Reading - an accomplished Lord Chief Justice and diplomat whose intellect shines through in Ritchie's work. Additionally featured is Herbert Henry Asquith, Earl of Oxford and Asquith - a former Prime Minister who left an indelible mark on British politics during his tenure. Sir William Orpen himself became one of Alick P F Ritchie's subjects; this collaboration between two esteemed artists resulted in a stunning portrayal that showcases Orpen's mastery as both painter and muse. Thomas Power O'Connor was another figure immortalized by Ritchie; an Irish journalist-turned-politician whose influence reached far beyond national borders. His portrait reflects his determination to fight for justice through words or actions alike.
