He went on to set up his own restoration business which led him into the world of forgeries, finding that the market for such items in 19th century Italy was flourishing. Like a number of his contemporaries he forged panel paintings, triptychs, and wooden caskets, passing them off as fifteenth or sixteenth century originals, but, more unusually, he also forged bookbindings. He had read of the distinctive and highly decorated tavolette book covers used by the city of Siena and started to produce his own, layering wooden panels with plaster and painting them with tempera and gold. Although his bindings were somewhat different from the originals - since he had never been to the Archivio di Stato to study the originals - he was able to sell his work through associates in Florence and Rome, and his success was so great that he later claimed in his autobiography that a director from the Archivio di Stato had been convinced by an example of his work and declared it beautiful. Eventually, in the pursuit of fame, Joni revealed the truth, but his workmanship was such that he still received commissions for these bindings, which continue to be sought after today.The painted heraldic shields depicted on the panels are largely spurious, but tend to copy or are similar to medieval examples such as Henry I Count of Vaudémont in Aspilogia II (d. 1279), Aschfeld of Sussex, the King of Cyprus, Lusignan, Count de la Marche, Seigneur de Valence, the King of Germany, King of Bohemia, King of Rome, and Jean de Barres, Seigneur d'Oissorey (c.1230-1289, French knight and crusader). Further descriptions of the heraldic shields can be supplied.

He became a student at Goldsmiths’ School of Art, and whilst still at art school in 1935 he was hit by a car when out cycling. The accident left him in permanent pain which was to dog him throughout his short life and ultimately lead to his early demise in 1948 at the age of 33. Unable to return to his studies after the accident, Welch lived an invalid’s life in the Kent countryside with his devoted housekeeper, Evelyn (Evie) Sinclair, who remained with Welch at his different residences until May 1946, two months after Welch and his partner Eric Oliver moved to Middle Orchard, at Crouch near Borough Green, Kent. However, Sinclair returned to Middle Orchard in July 1948 to assist Welch until his death. During all this time he continued to paint and write, building up a large body of work. His paintings were exhibited during his lifetime in London as well as posthumously in 1954 by Leicester Galleries, and in November 1984 by Abbott and Holder.

Gowing was introduced to the painter William Coldstream by W. H. Auden in 1936 (when both Auden and Coldstream were working for the GPO Film Unit), and became Coldstream’s pupil at 12 Fitzroy Street, London after enrolling in 1938. This became the home of the School of Drawing and Painting, set up by Coldstream, Claude Rogers, Victor Pasmore, and Graham Bell, and renamed the Euston Road School after moving premises later the same year. The School was closed by the advent of the second world war, and Gowing’s Quaker background and Bloomsbury connections led to his conscientious objection (he was given exemption from service on condition that he continued to paint!). By the end of the war Gowing himself began to teach at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, alongside Coldstream and Pasmore.A chance encounter with Robin Darwin, then Head of Fine Art at King’s College, Newcastle, led him to apply to be his replacement, and in 1948, aged only 30, Gowing was appointed to the post of Professor of Fine Art, a position he held until 1958. At Newcastle he oversaw dramatic changes in the teaching of art through Pasmore and Hamilton’s ‘basic course’, as well as leading on the development of Newcastle's Hatton Gallery permanent collection and exhibition programme. In 1959, Gowing became principal of the new Chelsea School of Art, under whose direction it became a model of art education: art history was integrated alongside studio practice with an option programme ranging across science, music, philosophy, and literature. Gowing resigned from Chelsea in 1965 in order to become keeper of the British collections and deputy director of the Tate Gallery. He also became a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery, and the British Museum, and was a member of the Arts Council of Great Britain. In 1978, he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy of Arts and made honorary curator of its collections in 1985. He travelled to the United States to serve as Kress Professor at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and was also curator of the Phillips Collection in Washington.Gowing was knighted in 1982 and made a chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, in France in 1985. He received an Honorary Doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 1980. Gowing made three BBC television programmes, titled Three Painters (1984, 1986, and 1987), on Massaccio, Vermeer, and Brueghel, Goya, Matisse, and Rembrandt, Turner, Giotto, and Cézanne. The present drawing is likely to date from the period of Pasmore's involvement with the Euston Road School, roughly from 1937 to 1947.
