Eric Kennington, R.A. (1888-1960)

The Italian Soldier was painted during a transition period for Kennington: it demonstrates the influence of his father's looser painterly style but marks the period before he embarked on paintings of flower sellers and costermongers in London, which were depicted in a detailed Pre-Raphaelite manner.
