Frederic Lee Woolley



Picture title: Portrait of Frederic 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 financial adviser and 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 the artist's newly completed portrait of
Lord Tweedsmuir. Thus he had found the artist to carry out the work.
