George Bernard Shaw is a 1943 by Feliks Topolski, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting is a portrait of a man with a long white beard and mustache, wearing a top hat and a coat. He is turned to the left, facing away from the viewer. The man's face is partially obscured by his beard and mustache, but his eyes are visible, looking downward. The background of the painting is a light gray color, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The artist's use of bold lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture in the painting.
