Sir Ernest Oppenheimer 2
1958

This portrait bust presents Sir Ernest in his middle years. His features are pensive and benign and his impeccable bearing is captured by the formal suit and tie which he always wore. Herman Wald has captured the essence of his personality by a stylistic fusion of realism and idealism.
