Eleanor Best trained at the Slade in London and was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers during the years when there was a revival of interest in both mezzotint and aquatint, evident in this work from around 1925.

Henry Lamb depicts Lytton Strachey in a characteristic languid pose for a study of his 1914 painting. Through the window, the scene includes figures resembling Dr. Arnold and Florence Nightingale, referencing subjects from Strachey's influential 1918 book Eminent Victorians.

'Miss Collins.' (1924) William Beckwith McInnes won the Archibald Prize (Australia's prestigious award for portraiture) seven times. Writing in defence of his style of realism: 'in Australia we have not been bitten by Cubism or Futurism or other isms … and I am glad of it'.

@vintedUK hey Vinted, I haven't received money owed to me for two completed sales. It's been weeks. I've been in touch multiple times via your app and I've received the same inadequate response about technical issues. Starting to think I've been conned.

@WhaiteArt I especially like the way he portrayed cats.

Jules Bastien-Lepage's portrait from 1881 is of the writer Albert Woolff - with his cigarette, he looks the archetypal art critic; Woolff was an important admirer of Lepage at a time when his distinct brand of rural Naturalism was derided by traditional classicists and Impressionist radicals in Paris but loved in London.

During WW2, Stephen Bone served as a civilian camouflage officer and later as an Official War Artist attached to the Royal Navy. He was also an art critic to the Manchester Guardian from 1948. This picture depicts Ardrossan, a town on the North Ayrshire coast in Scotland, which played a key effort in the war when it was used as a naval base.
