Philips Walter

This intimate portrait from 1977 shows a priest with piercing blue eyes and a solemn expression, characteristic of Belgian artist Walter Philips. The man wears a black hat and clerical collar, while birds fly across a soft-toned background — evoking solitude or spiritual reflection. The mood is calm yet charged, and the detailed enamel technique adds intensity to the piece.

Walter Philips is known for narrative compositions featuring mysterious male figures in surreal surroundings. This work is a compelling example of his introspective early portraits.
