Tindle was only about 19 when he painted this self portrait. He studied at Coventry School of Art and was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. With his tousled hair, hazel eyes, pale skin, pronounced sensuous lips, fine, long nose and white shirt, the artist presents himself here as a handsome, introspective young man.The wan regard, the sensitivity of the brushwork and the attenuated palette, all relate this work to early northern European psychological portraits. Frances Spalding wrote of one of Tindle’s paintings ‘Painted very much under Freud’s influence but with a neo-romantic hangover, this portrait incorporates a considerable amount of emotive disturbance which serves, not to break the realist mode, but to enhance the immediacy of the sitter’s presence’.
