He visited Brockhurst many times in his studio and the drawings were given as a recognition of his assistance at this time.Educated at Birmingham School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools, Brockhurst made his name as a society portrait painter, depicting subjects including the Duchess of Windsor, Marlene Dietrich and J. Paul Getty. His drawings and etchings often take his friends and family as their subject, and have a remarkable immediacy and intimacy which is evident in the present group.

拍品专文

In 1914 Brockhurst and his first wife, Anaïs, spent several months travelling through France and Italy. Brockhurst can into the work of the Italian masters for the first time, and was particularly influenced by the artists of the quattrocento. These elegant, fluid nude studies reveal this early interest which was to play a part throughout his career.
