Portrait of late Professor William Mathew Flinders Petrie by Philip Alexius de Laszlo (1934). This less formal depiction of Petrie was painted by de Laszlo for Petrie’s family. It was lent to UCL Hilda Petrie to be put on display with the Petrie Collection at the time of the celebration around the centenary of Petrie’s birth in 1953. The portrait is now housed in the Petrie Museum. With thanks to the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, UCL. Photo © Osama S. M. Amin.
