Picture title: Portrait of Frederick
Lee Woolley. 1995. Commissioned by King Edward VI School, Southampton. Oil on canvas. Size: 32" x
26" (81cm x 66cm). Sold
Frederic Woolley was a long-time accountant and financial adviser, and
later benefactor to King
Edward VI School.
He was advised by the board of governors that they wished to commission a
portrait of him for
the school, and he should seek an artist to execute the work. He was a
member of the Carlton Club,
St James's, London, and whilst on a visit there he saw my newly
completed portrait of
Lord Tweedsmuir
and then enquired about the artist, thus he contacted me and
asked if I would take on the work.
