LEWIS BAUMER. The Lunchen Interval - Portrait of a Gentleman who has scored Fifty Runs, pencil, charcoal and pastol on grey paper, signed 'Lewis Baumer', title on the mount, 322 x 205mm., framed and glazed.
A pastellist and illustrator, Baumer (1870-1963) is chiefly remembered for his black and white work during the 1920s and 1930s. A natural successor to Du Maurier, he has been described as 'the classic suburban artist' with humour lying in the letterpress rather than in the line.
