The American artist Frederic Dorr Steele’s portrait of Sherlock Holmes; the most popular of all the portraits of Holmes outside Great Britain. Though dated some twenty-five years after the Paget Sketch (1891), it is intended to show Holmes as a young, and not a middle-aged, man.

A sound of quick steps broke the silence of the moor. Crouching among the stones we stared intently at the silver-tipped bank in front of us. The steps grew louder, and through the fog, as through a curtain, there stepped the man whom we were awaiting. He looked round him in surprise as he emerged into the clear, starlit night.
