Edward Onslow Ford (1852-1901) - The Singer (1889), front left, wide angle, knees upward, once again on display atTate Britain, Feb 2015
One of my favourite works, back on display at the Tate after more than four years.
In this view the perspective makes her look lifesize, or even over-lifesize, but in reality she's a half-scale statuette. The sheer detail helps to sell the illusion, speaking to the artist's skill.
