The Art of Richard Eurich
- REP / PCThis work was first shown in Richard's 'Paintings for Children' exhibition at the Redfern Gallery in April 1945. There is a Redfern label on the back which is dated April 1st 194_. The last digit is obscured, but since 'Paintings for Children' took place in April, the year is probably 1945.
The label confirms that the painting was sold to the Hertfordshire Education Committee. However, this is not the buyer noted in Richard's sales diary. He wrote that Col. Beddington, a director at the art dealers Wildensteins, had bought it. Can anyone explain this contradiction?
