Herr Drosselmeyer (2002) Oil on canvas, 65x45cm |
||||
|
The portrait of Herr Drosselmeyer is based upon Nadar's photograph of the 19th century caricaturist, Charles Philipon, with the addition of a spurious eyepatch. Below, on the left hand side, above the portrait of Tchaikovsky, is the original costume design for the character. Next to this is the Dance of the Snowflakes from the NYC Ballet, and the Sugar-Plum Fairy froom the original Maryinsky. ©copyright 2005 Nicholas Middleton |
