This striking portrait captures the unmistakable presence of British actor Asa Butterfield, rendered in rich oil tones by Elizabeth Corish. Painted a few years ago, the work showcases Corish's sensitivity to character and mood—qualities that echo throughout Asa's compelling career.

Butterfield first garnered international attention as the young Bruno in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008), a role that earned him critical acclaim and prestigious award nominations at just 11 years old. Since then, he has continued to evolve, taking on a variety of roles in film and television. Most notably, he stars as Otis Milburn in the globally celebrated Netflix series Sex Education (2019–2023), which met with both critical and fan acclaim.

This piece is more than a portrait—it's a study in quiet intensity, reflecting both the actor's range and the artist's ability to capture it. A unique and collectable work for fans of cinema, portraiture, and contemporary British culture.
