MUKUL DEY (INDIAN 1895-1989) DANCING GIRLS Signed in pencil to margin, drypoint (Dimensions: 37cm x 26cm (14.5in x 10.25in))(37cm x 26cm (14.5in x 10.25in))Footnote: Note : Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to offer this small group of 20 th Century paintings, the last remaining works from the collection of F.G. ‘Peter’ Stone. Peter Stone lived in St Johns Wood, London, and was Art Critic for the Jewish Chronicle. He moved in artistic circles and knew many artists personally, as both friends and colleagues. He purchased work directly from them as a gesture of support and endorsement, and well as offered financial support to many new artists as they tried to establish themselves in the London art scene. By the time of his death in 1985, he had amassed a collection of over 60 paintings. His will, in which he bequeathed the majority of his collection to his son, makes for an interesting read as it references much of his art and the specific bequests he made to the people in his network including Lilian Bomberg, Harry Barr, and ‘to my son, Dr William Michael Hunter.’ William arranged the sale of some of the paintings from his father’s collection, including Carel Weight's Allegro Strepitoso, which is now in the collection of the Tate. Over the years, many other items from the collection have been given away and sold, leaving only this small, yet considered, group of works. The paintings passed to Peter’s son, Dr William Hunter in 1985 and have remained in the family ever since.Condition report: Slight time fading. Small repair to girl's dress, extreme left. No obvious foxing, tears, or creases. Please note that the dimensions of this work are 37cm x 26cm ( 14.5in x 10.25in ). The dimensions of this work including frame are 58.5cm x 43cm (23in x 17in).
