We are an independent gallery and commissioning agency offering honest and impartial advice to those looking for bespoke works of art.

A bespoke experience

A Short Film: Behind The Scenes

Expert portrait guide

The successful portrait commission satisfies both artist and client. It happens when an expert eye, and years of experience, combine to inspire the perfect portrait.

At our gallery you can view styles of portraiture and discuss the process involved when selecting an artist. Alternatively, we can visit your home or office to discuss options and/or review where the portrait may hang to help inform the style of painting to suit a room and other works of art.

Finding value in fine art

Our support throughout the commission is yours to use for free. A portrait through Fine Art Commissions costs no more than approaching the artist directly. The artists are contracted to quote the same price as FAC and only reimburse us for the promotion of their work via our gallery, publications and art fairs, once they receive a commission.

Added value at no extra cost.

Curated expertise

Our relationship with all our artists ensures that they will create the highest standard of work for you. We only represent those that we know will produce consistently strong portraits so we are able to confidently advise on which artist will be best suited for each individual commission.

At your service

We are always on hand to guide you through the world of portrait commissions, gallery sales and historical portraits. A tailored service, as unique as every portrait, from expert advice to organization of sittings, framing, delivery and installation. We are here to help with every factor of your bespoke work of art.
