The vendor acquired this work from an art historian who - while a student at Sussex University in the 1960s - became a friend of Duncan Grant. (The art historian has written books about Grant and the Bloomsbury Set and was a trustee of Charleston for some years). Wolfe made the design for Omega Workshops around 1919.
