* This print was made at the peak of Anderson's career. Here he belies his allegedly shy reticence and he looks confident, combining an artisan's smock with a dapper silk bow tie. References to Titian, Rembrandt and Durer have been seen in this pose: even the lettered ledge is an acknowledgement of 16th century illusionism.
