Two lovers


Still from the same big painting: Two lovers. Holding and being held, is probably something we all long for. Here the lover looks a lot like one of the icons Tony used to portray 'the vet'. Tony was, by his own account, influenced by El Greco. In some other paintings you can tell by the length of the legs and such, here it are the elongated faces and noses that could refer to El Greco's influence.
