Roger Fry (British, 1866-1934) The walled garden, Charleston oil on canvas 46.6 x 54.5 cm. (18 3/8 x 21 1/2 in.) Painted in 1919-20 Footnotes: Provenance The Artist, thence by family descent Private Collection, Canada Painted from a top-floor window at Charleston, Vanessa Bell's house in Sussex. Years later when Bell's studio had replaced the attic bedroom, she depicted the same view on frequent occasions. There is a fragment of a painting on the verso which might well be by Bell, cut from a larger work of about 1911 but discarded by the artist. She may well have given this to Fry while he was visiting Charleston, to enable him to paint on the back. We are grateful to Richard Shone for compiling this catalogue entry.
