Pastel
Info, or links that point to more info, about this artist can be found here and here, perhaps in addition to what’s in his Wikipedia page (Google translated Dutch Wikipedia page may have more).
/// Jean Daiwaille’s self-portrait here shows
that he wasn’t ashamed of his nose,
or his disheveled hair,
or his sad beagle stare.
For the rest, I’ll continue in prose:
(My first reaction is that this painting looks very much like
the actor Jack MacGowran made-up to play Professor Ambrosius
in Roman Polanski’s “The Fearless Vampire Killers.”)
/// Though that movie was fun, it’s not great.
And we’ve read of Polanski’s young “date.”
But, all scandals aside,
I can picture his bride:
the breathtaking dream, Sharon Tate.
