SIX LANDSCAPE SUBJECTS
Four signed, c.1922-1923, one after John Constable (`Folkestone Harbour`), watercolour, with pencil or with pen and ink

* Alexander studied at the British Museum for a year after leaving school. The Constable copy may date from c. 1894. The illustrated example shows the influence of Alexander's great friend Sir George Clausen and it is thought that he and Clausen, Mark Fisher and Philip Wilson Steer would share technical suggestions or even add elements to their friends' works when they worked alongside each other.
