Sir Tristan Antico, 1993 (printed 2018)

On one level The Companion talks about the most famous and frontline Australians, but on another it tells us about ourselves: who we read, who we watch, who we listen to, who we cheer for, who we aspire to be, and who we'll never forget. The Companion is available to buy online and in the Portrait Gallery Store.

Explore portraiture and come face to face with Australian identity, history, culture, creativity and diversity.
