He is shown three-quarter length, standing, wearing Presidential robes and chain of office. In the background is an original Chagall print, given to Sir Michael by his artist daughter. Family and friends of Professor Drury thought the portrait made him look more serious than usual. A suggestion to the artist that he should be depicted smiling, was squashed by the comment that one laughing cavalier was quite enough.
