Lawrence Deller
M, #6350, b. 4 February 1889, d. 18 November 1918

Lawrence Deller was a professional artist, and for religious reasons a conscientious objector. The reaction to conscientious objectors by the tribunals set up to vet their claims was not consistent, and was sometimes very hostile.

thank you in advance

Am I correct that your piece is a sketch with charcoal?

By the signature it shows 1913?

Am I correct that you are in the United Kingdom?

i am from the UK and the date near the signature is 1913

Post by: KC on March 11, 2015, 12:48:58 PM: My daughter informed me that it is most likely sketched with graphite instead of charcoal because that was the medium of wide use back in that time!

Post by: mart on March 11, 2015, 04:33:03 PM: Its a pretty common thing when painting people to have many sketches and various poses before the work is begun !! Lots of those are eventually framed !!
