拍品專文

This portrait is a study for one of the figures in Sargent's 1920-22 oil Some General Officers of the Great War (National Portrait Gallery, London. See C. Ratcliff, John Singer Sargent, New York, 1982, p. 206, pl. 307).

Sir Charles Macpherson Dobell (1869-1954), The Royal Welch Fusileers, served in field command positions in Africa and Palestine during World War One, and he was knighted and promoted to Lieutenant-General following his endeavours as commander of an Anglo-French force tasked with the capture of Cameroon. He was mentioned in dispatches nine times.
