- Display captionPortrait of Ian Botham, 2001 (b.1955) Nick Botting (b.1963) Oil on canvas Relaxed and holding a cigar, former England all-rounder and captain Sir Ian Botham sits overlooking the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore wearing a Rohan Kanhai International XI Tour tie. The all-rounder was painted from life by British artist Nick Botting who was on tour in Pakistan with the English cricket team producing documentary paintings for MCC. Botting is widely known for painting ‘en plein air’ or outside. His sketchy painterly style perfectly suits the subject of cricket. MCC Collection: commission, 2001 M.2001.TN.108
