DESCRIPTION

This Bust of Philip Fleming by Helen Anne Lubbock (1919-1995) captures in realistic detail from the neck up, Philip Fleming, looking straight ahead with a focused stare. Wrinkles in the forehead, around the eyes, and the details in the mustache show Lubbock's attention to detail in capturing her subject. Philip Fleming (1889-1971) was a British merchant banker and rower, who competed in the Summer Olympics of 1912, as well as being the uncle of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond.
