'PORTRAIT OF VICTORY': A FINE LARGE WARTIME PORTRAIT OF CHURCHILL, signed by him in 1944. The original was painted in 1942 and exhibited at the Royal Academy the following year. It was bought by the insurance magnate Sir Edward Mountain and presented to the Carlton Club, with signed reproductions being made for distribution to a select few (see the statement by the artist's son quoted by Jeanette Hanisee Gabriel, 'Churchill Portraits of Alfred Egerton Cooper' at the Churchill Centre and Museum at the Cabinet War Rooms website).
