Bust of William Shakespeare, London

This week is London Public Art week on Wanderlust & Pixels! And verily where better to start than with a bust of the Bard himself, William Shakespeare? The bust commemorates the publication of the First Folio.

The Laughing Cavalier

laughing cavalier frans hals wallace collection

The Laughing Cavalier, by Frans Hals, is one of my favourite paintings. Although he isn't really laughing, and he isn't a cavalier. I'd say he's smirking, and wouldn't you, if you were wearing such a great hat?

You can see The Laughing Cavalier at the Wallace Collection in London, where it is on display in the Great Gallery. I'd recommend a visit!
