拍品专文

The Roberts family moved to Oxford shortly after the outbreak of World War Two and remained there until circa 1945. He taught art one day a week at the Oxford Technical School and was appointed part-time war artist by the Artists Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Information in 1940. Roberts regularly painted portraits throughout the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s and it seems that Christopher Milford was painted during the period 1944-47, when the sitter was up at Oxford.

We are very grateful to David Cleall (William Roberts Society) for preparing this catalogue entry.
