Allan Gwynne-Jones R.A., (1892–1982)
Study of a Tree.
Signed with Initials AGJ (bottom of tree).
Pencil on grey paper heightened with white chalk.
Within a period silvered frame.
An inscription written in Gwynne-Jones hand on the reverse of the frame reads Study of a tree, for "orchard" painting or for one of the farm paintings about 1919-1920 or a little later. Pencil on grey 'Michelin' -- paper heightened with white chalk by Allen Gwynne-Jones. Never exhibited. Purchased 1974 by Mr Roland Hughes.
The inscription suggests this drawing may have been a study for a large oil painting of an orchard which was abandoned and then destroyed.
Allan Gwynne-Jones C.B.E., D.S.O., R.A., was born in Richmond, Surrey. He was educated at Bedales School and then qualified as a solicitor, but never practised. He instead developed a love of art and began painting watercolours. In 1914 he began a course at the Slade School of Fine Art, but three months later was commissioned into the Cheshire Regiment. He was wounded and awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. He returned to the Slade after demobilisation in 1919 and in 1923 became Professor of Painting at the Royal College of Art. He remained at the Royal College for the remainder of his career, and also gained renown for his own painting, most notably portraits and paintings of flowers.
Gwynne-Jones became a Royal Academician in 1956. He was rather belatedly appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1980, only two years before his death.
