Titled Mrs Barrett (1906), this 20 x 16in (51 x 40cm) oil on canvas is priced at £125,000 in Piano Nobile’s new exhibition on the figurative works of Walter Sickert. The sitter appears in several portraits and may have been the artist’s charwoman.
Nearly 80 years after Walter Sickert’s (1860-1942) death and ahead of a major retrospective planned at Tate Britain in 2022, London gallery Piano Nobile is bringing together over 40 of the artist’s figure paintings for an autumn show.
Covering the full range of Sickert’s subject-matter across his career, from portraits and nudes to crowd scenes and images of found photography, Sickert: The Theatre of Life comprises both loans and works for sale, including a number not exhibited since his lifetime.
