London, England - The c. 1927 date on the label on the back of the picture was given when the work was exhibited by Ewan Mundy Fine Art in Glasgow in 2005. Mrs McCance feels, from a comparision with other drawings of the series, that c. 1925 is more likely. It certainly fits with the series of McCance's work undertaken 1920-1930.
Mrs McCance records that for the figure studies between 1920 and 1930 William McCance used professional models, but the seated clothed figures were of family and friends. She thinks this works probably depicts McCance's first wife, the artist Agnes Miller Parker. The furniture shown was probably in McCance's home studio in London in either:
1920-25 - 2 Coleherne Terrace, Earls Court, SW5
1925-28 - St Peter's Square, Chiswick
1928-29 - 12A Thayer Street, W1
1929-1930 - 222 Gloucester Terrace, W2 | Publisher: | University of St Andrews | Rights holder: | 47795 | Subjects: | WOMAN EASEL AGNES MILLER FIGURE VORTICIST WILLIAM MCCANCE drawing SKETCH pencil chalk PARKER AGNES BOSWELL MILLER PARKER MARGARET LONDON | Temporal: | 1920/1930 | Source: | University of St Andrews | Creator: | MCCANCE, William | Identifier: | HC2005.17 | Language: | en-GB |
