A bespoke Legacy Portrait is for those seeking:
For those who wish to honour a full life, whatever that may mean, a bespoke Legacy Portrait is a thoughtful tribute. It preserves the subject’s story in a way that will endure and connect with future generations – when a photograph might fade or be lost in the digital archives.
Every portrait begins with a conversation. Whether in person or online, we’ll explore your ideas and discuss the details that matter most—composition, tone, and the elements that reflect your loved one’s story.
Preliminary sketches and studies provide the first glimpse of your portrait. Your input ensures the design aligns with your vision before painting begins.
The painting process involves layering oil paints with precision and care. Once complete, the portrait is varnished, framed, and delivered to your home with attention to every detail.
Legacy Portraits typically include one subjects i.e. an individual/single person.
Our standard sizes for Legacy Portraits are based on traditional sizes dating back to the 1650s and are reflected in the table below. We also offer custom sizes should you wish. For more information on portrait sizes, please read our blog article HERE.
