Specialist note

Leslie Cubitt Bevis was a sculptor, primarily of portraits, who taught modelling at the Camberwell School of Art. David Jones had studied at the School from 1909-14, under A.S. Hartrick, who had worked with Van Gogh and Gauguin, and who influenced his style of pencil, watercolour and bodycolour; and Reginald Savage, who introduced him to the work of the Pre-Raphaelites and the English illustrators.
