A framed painting by Augustus John entitled "Senora Gandarillas".

Augustus Edwin John OM RA (4 January 1878 to 31 October 1961) was a Welsh painter, draughtsman, and etcher. For a short time around 1910, he was an important exponent of Post- Impressionism in the United Kingdom. Although well known early in the century for his drawings and etchings, the bulk of his later work consisted of portraits. By the 1920s John was Britains leading portrait painter. He became a leader of the New English Art Club, where he chiefly exhibited. With his vivid manner of portraiture and his ability to catch unerringly some striking and usually unfamiliar aspect of his subject, he superseded Sargent as Englands fashionable portrait painter. In 1921 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy and elected a full R.A. in 1928.
