Robert O’Connor, Mount Nelson
Nothing is known of this sitter. The unidentified sitter is a much under-attended-to figure in art. He or she turns up in almost every one of those ‘great artist in history’ monographs, tucked in with their other ‘minor’ works. There’s something about them – they’re often shady looking. They aren’t particularly important people, otherwise we’d know their names, but they have mystery, intimacy, honesty – all good things and in a way pointless. I really like that.
