Giraldus: Dulac’s Portrait for A Vision
Original caption: Portrait of Giraldus
A bearded man in a folded cap looks sideways from a sharply outlined bust portrait. Ties close the front of his jacket against the plain coloured paper. Dulac supplies a face for Giraldus within the literary framing of Yeats’s A Vision; the caption names the purported Speculum Angelorum et Hominorum.
