Description: Oil paintings in the fine art of posthumous portraits. Marcia Ellen Crosbie and Ernest Akroyd Kinnear C1939. She is an attractive, gorgeous young woman with rosy cheeks and blue eyes, curling short strawberry blonde hair, and wearing a sophisticated mustard and black formal dress with a brooch behind her neck in the subject dual portraits of a husband and wife in front facing profile. He is wearing a black suit and a white shirt, has brown eyes, short, receding darker blonde hair, flushed cheeks, a moustache, a masculine jaw line, and a nose to match. European customs of showing the deceased as living were the inspiration for the posthumous picture. Through the use of this medium, these posthumous pictures brought the deceased back to life and created a genre all of their own. signed by Edmund Dyer, a British artist.
