Antonin Leopold DVORAK

8 September 1841 - 1 May 1904

The above image is a portrait of Dvorak from my series '52 Composers'. I made it using a combination of traditional and digital techniques.
The background lists some of his best known works.
I have made this portrait available in various formats and also on some gift items which will make unusual presents for music lovers.
