拍品专文

Apperley has been described as one of the finest of the Last Romantics. Descended from a long noble line of the d'Apperleys of Normandy, he was also the grandson of the famous sporting journalist 'Nimrod'. His ambition to be an artist was fulfilled at an early age, studying at the Herkomer Academy, at Bushey, and first exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1905.
