Lot Report

Provenance:

Collection of the artist.

Literature:

Ian M. Thom, The Cartoons of Arthur Lismer, Toronto, 1985, page 50, reproduced.

Note:

This drawing depicts the artist Peter Haworth, who was a fellow member of the Arts & Letters Club and was often a fellow diner with Lismer at the “Artist’s Table”. Thom writes, “Obviously Haworth was either doubtful or perplexed at the conversation and seems to cast a baleful glance at his unseen companion.”
