The RSCBE has announced that the portrait of Professor Thrupiece commissioned to mark the 10th Anniversary of his passing has been completed by distinguished Royal Academy artist Harris Tweedy.
A spokeswoman for the Society described it as "an excellent portrait but not a good likeness" adding that though several portraits of the professor exist (mainly) in private hands, none of those available to the public "captures the essence of a man who was at once contented and conflicted; at ease with the world but not with himself and known only to a few intimates most of whom are now dead."
The portrait will hang in the foyer of the RSCBE state-of-the-art Headquarters and Research Facility in Great Heaving, Dorset.
