Beskrivning
Head and shoulders, frontal portrait of Gooch. Wearing a navy blue England blazer with St George and the dragon crest and a MCC sweater trimmed with scarlet and gold.
Portrait of Graham Gooch, 1992
Ishbel Myerscough (1968)
Oil on canvas
Former captain of Essex and England Graham Gooch is
painted here flushed and perspiring under his MCC
sweater and England blazer by Scottish artist Ishbel
Myerscough.
Painted entirely from life, this gritty ‘warts and all’
portrait must have seemed rather adventurous in
contrast to the other more traditional portraits in the
Collection prior to 1992.
Commissioned ten years before the Lord’s Portrait
Project was conceived, it inspired the Arts & Library
Committee to commission more adventurous works of
art that moved away from the conventional board-room
painting of a suit at a desk.
