Of all the men in the Welsh Gentlemen series, Dick Pugh feels the most modern. His confident moustache, workman’s jacket, and close-fitting cap give him an industrial edge. He rests a sledgehammer or pickaxe over his shoulder — a subtle nod to labour, craftsmanship, or perhaps the mines.
Drawn from a 19th-century photograph by John Thomas and reimagined in expressive pen-and-ink linework, Dick seems like someone you could still meet on the streets of a Welsh town today. He’s watchful, practical, and timeless in his own way.
Reimagined in finely detailed pen-and-ink style, this larger format print brings even greater impact. At A2 size (42 cm by 59.4 cm), it makes a striking statement on the wall and allows the intricacy of the linework to shine. While it will fit a standard A2 frame, I recommend using a slightly larger frame with a mount to give the piece room to breathe and add a sense of formality.
This is part of the Welsh Ladies & Gentlemen Collection, celebrating six historical figures from Wales. Each one was carefully selected from the archives of the National Library of Wales and drawn with their permission.
This limited edition of 100 prints of my original illustration.
