Portrait Details
In this watercolour, Beerbohm also depicts Marconi as a melancholic old scientist in the air of nostalgia. In this picture, Marconi is not energetically engaging with his works at his work desk, but he is standing quietly in front of a cluttered desk. He is not holding pens or his inventions, but looking at far away outside of the picture. The empty background almost represents the status of his empty mind.
