Oliver Shepherd Maestro (portrait of Jessica Cottis)
As you move around the room, do the eyes in this portrait follow you?
Conductor Jessica Cottis is sitting on a bench with her baton and musical score. The lines of the bench slats echo a five-line stave (a framework on which musical notes are written). Can you spot similar lines in the music Jessica is holding? Why do you think Oliver Shepherd has painted a butterfly next to her?
Imagine conducting an orchestra to play your favourite song. Move your hands to guide the musicians as they play.
