DAVID BOMBERG (1890-1957) Landscape at Talgwyn Farm, Red Wharf Bay, Anglesey, oil on panel, 12 1/2 x 16 in

The artist stayed at Talgwyn Farm , Anglesey on a camping holiday in 1944

Provenance: with Ernest Hilton, Cambridge c.1965 ; from whom purchased by D.Wright Esq. ; thence by family descent ; Now sold on the instructions of the Executors of the late Hilary C. Wright.

For other landscapes painted at Talgwyn Farm. cf. for instance a painting offered at Sotheby's, London 26/11/2015 lot 136 titled 'Trees near Talgwyn'; and another titled 'Talgwyn Farm, Red Wharf Bay', offered at Sotheby's on 12 July 2013 , lot 159. Both paintings subsequently on the London art market.

The reverse of the painting bears a label which states 'authenticated by Lilian Bomberg'. A second inscription on the same label states 'Juliet's Collection. ....Mcneill). That a reference to Juliet Lamont (Lilian Bomberg's grandaughter...her married name in the 1960's was McNeill) ). Juliet did spend some time with David and Lilian Bomberg during the war and as a young girl visited Talgwyn Farm with them.
Although the painting at Minster was never in the long term possession of Juliet, it is possible that it was among the many works that Juliet and her mother Dinora inherited after Lilian Bomberg died. This particular painting could have been one at least initially chosen by/or allocated to Juliet at that time, but possession not taken up by her.
