Portrait of Jonathan Church
Description
This posthumous portrait was painted by artist George Gittoes in 2017. The composition is inspired by the artist's now iconic photograph of Trooper (Tpr) Jonathan (Jon) Church carrying an injured Rwandan child following the massacre by soldiers of the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) at the UN administered refuge camp at Kibeho.
