‡ALAN SORRELL (1904-1974)
THE TRAVELLER (FRAGMENT)
Oil on canvas, unstretched and unframed
151 x 65cm.
* `The Traveller is now only a small picture about twelve inches by ten inches, but originally its measurements were six feet by five feet. The first and large version was painted in Rome [c.1928]. It was going to be a "great" work, but, alas
it became a mere dull pedestrian exercise..` (Sorrell, quoted by Peyton Skipwith in `Alan Sorrell: The Life and Works of an English Neo-Romantic Artist`, p.56, Bristol, 2013, a copy of which accompanies this lot)
