Edgar Bundy - The Cavalier



Price Realized £4,183

signed and inscribed 'An Oil Painting/by/Edgar Bundy/A.R.A./Done on the panel of/a door.../an Artist's/Boarding House/in London' (on an old label on the reverse)
oil on panel
39 1/8 x 9¼ in. (99.4 x 23.5 cm.)

The picture is comparable to those done for the hall of Alma-Tadema's house, 17 Grove End Road, St John's Wood, but it would have been too tall for this project by about 8 inches (all the Alma-Tadema panels were approximately 31½ inches high). The inscription on the reverse also seems to rule out any connection.
