MWW Artist of the Day (2/14/23) Gerald Leslie Brockhurst (British, 1890-1978) Orcella (c. 1925-30) Oil on panel, 51 x 40.5 cm. Private Collection

The composition of this portrait of a young, fair-haired woman with a delicate red blouse and finely-embroidered black dress shows a striking resemblance to Leonardo’s "St. John the Baptist" in the Louvre. The Baptist’s central gesture of pointing to Heaven is here replicated in a perfect mirror image, however, the meaning of the hand is different, pointing to the landscape in the background instead. The position of the index finger indicates a separation between a withered tree on one side and a blooming wisteria tree on the other. Unlike Leonardo’s "St. John the Baptist," the woman’s gaze is not directed to the viewer, but turns away from the pointing finger and reaffirms her belonging to the living things around her.
