Artist: E MAURICE FEILD (1905-1988)

Title: 'CHILD ASLEEP' (original unframed oil on board)

Description: Painter and printmaker, closely associated with the Euston Road School.  He studied art at the Slade School in the 1920s and taught there later in life, after a spell teaching at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts after the War.  His work is held in the Government Art Collection. His friend Sir William Coldstream helped him to organise a retrospective at the Upper Grosvenor Galleries in the early 1970s.  Feild's work was also shown at the Cooling Gallery and Walker's Galleries in London.  His pictures are invariably signed and titled by him verso.  Maurice Feild lived in London.

This painting of a young girl sleeping is on a thick board and is quite small, measuring about 6.6 x 6.2 inches.  It is in good original condition but the board itself is a little uneven at the edges.  Feild has signed it in block letters verso, titled it and priced the painting then (we think 1940s /early 1950s) at 10 guineas.  It needs a frame to set it off properly.  We also have a larger oil available by this artist, which was shown at the Upper Grosvenor Galleries retrospective exhibition (see #ref 0363)...
