This is an
extraordinary find! Woodward was known to have an aversion to doing portraits because he did not feel confident
enough to paint them to his satisfaction. To learn that he had done a self-portrait
when he was 13 years old simply shocked us.
You can see his talent, but as anyone who has ever done a self-portrait knows, sometimes you exaggerate a feature and here he
appears to
exaggerate the scale or size of his eyes. We thank his family for sharing it with us.
