Lot Essay

This Charleston flower piece was painted in Spring 1945 and, to judge from the flowers (such as iris and aquilegia), at around the time of VE Day, 8th May. Grant painted several views of Charleston garden in bloom at about the same time.

We are very grateful to Richard Shone for preparing this catalogue entry.
