EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white sketch, Lord Adrian, the 1st Baron Adrian, is depicted in deep concentration as he was drawn from life by the renowned artist Stephen Ward during a private sitting granted specifically for the Illustrated London News in 1961. At the time, Lord Adrian held esteemed positions as both Master of Trinity College and Vice-Chancellor of the prestigious University of Cambridge. The portrait captures the intellectual intensity and refined elegance of Lord Adrian, who was known for his significant contributions to the scientific community. A pioneering physiologist, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1932 for his discoveries regarding the ionic mechanism of nerve action potentials. This sketch is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a rare and intimate look at Lord Adrian during a period of great professional achievement. Ward's skillful rendition masterfully conveys the subject's character and intellect, making it a valuable historical document. However, it is important to note that two years after this sitting, Stephen Ward would become notorious for his involvement in the Profumo Affair, a major political scandal that would shake the British establishment. Despite this later infamy, this portrait remains a testament to Ward's artistic talent and the historical significance of the subjects he captured on paper. This image is an exclusive offering from Mary Evans Prints Online, providing a unique opportunity to own a piece of 1960s history.
