Lawrence Deller
M, #6350, b. 4 February 1889, d. 18 November 1918

Lawrence Deller was a professional artist, and for religious reasons a conscientious objector. The reaction to conscientious objectors by the tribunals set up to vet their claims was not consistent, and was sometimes very hostile.

thank you in advance

   Here's a work of his St. Paul's Cathedral.

Well, we do know that the one on Artnet isn't likened to yours because the description states that it is a "Half Length Portrait of a Young Woman wearing A Green Foliate Headband"!  It is an Oil on Canvas.

Am I correct that your piece is a sketch with charcoal?

By the signature it shows 1913?

Am I correct that you are in the United Kingdom?

Hi KC

the drawing is in either a heavy pencil or charcoal

i am from the UK and the date near the signature is 1913

[KC]

My daughter informed me that it is most likely sketched with graphite instead of charcoal because that was the medium of wide use back in that time!

Its a pretty common thing when painting people to have many sketches and various poses before the work is begun !!  Lots of those are eventually framed !! 

[greenacres]

KC, I was just saying his works were mostly church's. I guess I didn't explain that well enough.😊

[KC]

From what I can see I would agree with you on that greenacres.

[mart]

I can`t see either link !!

[greenacres]

I don't know why.
