EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of St. John Harmsworth (1876-1933), an English entrepreneur and businessman, as he sits in a comfortable chair, clad in a suave smoking jacket. The debonair gentleman exudes an air of success and sophistication, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. Harmsworth is best known for his role in the establishment and expansion of the Perrier sparkling mineral water brand in France. With a keen business acumen and a vision for innovation, he designed the distinctive bulbous green bottle that would come to symbolize the brand's identity. The son of the Harmsworth press barons, St. John Harmsworth carved out a name for himself in a different industry, leaving an indelible mark on the world of beverages. This evocative portrait by renowned Irish painter Sir William Orpen (1878-1931) was created in 1930, capturing a moment in time of a man who defied the expectations of his family name and forged his own path to greatness.
