| Object history | Produced for the Omega Workshops Ltd., ca. 1913. Mr Duncan Grant states that this design was one of two panels painted in oil and placed on either side of a window as shop signs on the first floor. One was painted by Wyndham Lewis, the other by himself, but he could not state certainly which was his work. The work was reattributed to Vanessa Bell by Richard Shone, Tate exhibition catalagoue, 1999. |
