Suave, sophisticated and unmistakably Bond, Sean Connery as 007 is Adrian Teal’s wonderfully characterful tribute to the man who first brought James Bond to the big screen.

Dressed in the classic dinner jacket and bow tie, Connery is captured at the gaming table with that famously cool, unflappable expression. Teal exaggerates his distinctive features just enough to inject humour and personality into the portrait, while retaining an instantly recognisable likeness.

The dark, atmospheric background and elegantly dressed figures suggest the glamour of a casino — a world of high stakes, beautiful people and danger lurking just beneath the surface. Against it, Bond takes centre stage, looking entirely at home and seemingly one step ahead of everyone around him.

Adrian Teal is renowned for combining accomplished portraiture with the wit of caricature, and this original demonstrates exactly why his work is so engaging. Look beyond the humour and there is considerable skill in the modelling of the face, the subtle skin tones, the folds of the dinner jacket and the dramatic use of light and shadow.

For fans of James Bond, Sean Connery and classic British cinema, this is a fabulous one-off original: stylish, nostalgic and filled with personality.

After all, there have been many Bonds — but for plenty of 007 devotees, Connery will always be Bond.
