TitleProfessor Valerie Lund FRCS
DescriptionPortrait of Valerie Lund, by Jane Brettle, 2008 (2003).
Valerie Lund is a Professor of Rhinology at the UCL Ear Institute, and Honorary Consultant Rhinologist at the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital. She graduated from Charing Cross Medical School in 1977 and passed the Final FRCS(Eng) in 1982. She was a member of Council from 1994 until 2006, and was Chairman of the College’s Education Board and the Women in Surgical Training Committee.
This is one of six portraits of women surgeons acquired by the College from the artist Jane Brettle in 2008 (see related records). Derived in part from an earlier project by Brettle entitled 'airside', the portraits were influenced in their formal and aesthetic quality by the portraits of the late 18th early 19th century painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. They consist of half or three-quarter length poses, with particular consideration given to situation, detail, colour and scale. The subjects are portrayed in settings that relate to their professional work - in this case, as surgeons and as elected members of the Council of the College. Valerie Lund was photographed in the operating theatre at the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital for the 'airside' project in 2003.
