You see a man in a red coat, standing tall with a sly smile. His white cravat stands out against the dark background. He holds a red flower in his gloved hand. This painting shows Fred Terry playing Sir Percy Blakeney from the 1905 adventure novel. Terry wears the costume Terry himself designed for the stage role. The artist, Frank Daniell, often painted actors in their famous parts. Look up Frank Daniell next to learn more about his work.
