Donated by Samuel Johnson - From his personal collection.

A powerful early work by Anh Do, ‘Winter II’ captures the artist at a formative stage of his painting practice — prior to his widespread acclaim. Works from this early period are increasingly difficult to source, with many held in private collections. They offer a clear point of entry into the evolution of Anh Do’s now highly recognisable portrait style.

Anh Do has established a significant and active collector base across Australia, with original works consistently achieving strong results through galleries and secondary sales.

A solitary figure emerges from a subdued ground, rendered with emotional weight and psychological intensity rather than strict likeness — a defining characteristic of Anh Do’s most collectable works. The restrained winter palette of cool greys, muted blues and earthy tones heightens the sense of introspection, while the physicality of the paint surface gives the work a sculptural presence at scale.

‘Winter II’ represents a large-scale, early-period example with both visual and market significance — further strengthened by its direct provenance from the collection of Samuel Johnson.
