   productDescription:

   <p>Sir William Dobell (1899-1970) was an Australian painter, best known for his expressive and unique portraits. Although a 3-time winner of the Archibald Prize for portraiture, William&rsquo;s artistic career was marred with controversy and his first Archibald win was challenged in the Supreme Court. Despite this, William is remembered as one of Australia&rsquo;s best-known artists and his impact on portraiture is still felt today.</p>
