Cecil Gray, London, by whom acquired before 1948, and thence by descent to the previous owner

Dreweatts & Bloomsbury Auctions, London, 26 November 2014, lot 98

Wendy Baron, Sickert: Paintings and Drawings, London and New Haven, 2006, cat. no.781.1, p.561

The present lot is a view of Roman Road in Bath painted from just outside Bladud Buildings, where Sickert had a studio in 1917, with the crescent of The Paragon on the right and Vineyards on the left. Sickert died in Bath in 1942 and this work is therefore one of his very last paintings.


The original owner of the work was Cecil Gray, a well-known and highly respected music critic and composer. He lived in Fitzrovia during the 1930s where he met Sickert and other important artistic figures of the day.
