Alfred Reginald Thomson, R.A. (British, 1894-1979), Portrait of a Russian soldier watercolour on paper with pencil grid scale and annotations to margins, signed 'A.R. Thomson' lower right, unframed 42¾ x 17½in. (108.5 x 44.5cm.) * This is an important preparatory design sketch by Thomson for his immense, large-scale portrait of a Red Army soldier, which measured 64 x 24ft. It was used as the centrepiece of the backdrop at a fundraising concert to mark the 26th anniversary of the Red Army, held at the Royal Albert Hall, London on 24th February 1944. A colour photograph taken at the event by the Ministry of Information official photographer, shows the portrait hanging behind the massed choirs and orchestra, against a red backdrop and flanked tiered Soviet and Union Jack flags. Alfred Thomson (known as 'Tommy' for his wartime paintings), was born in Bangalore, India and was deaf from birth, learning sign language at a specialist school in Margate after the family's return from India. He attended the London Art School in Kensington for a time, tutored by John Hassall, but failed to pass entry into the R.A. School and was sent to work on a farm in Kent by his father, who forbade any further involvement in art as a profession. Despite this, Thomson left the farm and found his first paid work as an artist designing posters at Vitagraph in Longacre, thereafter establishing himself as a commercial artist, figural painter and caricaturist after WW1. After a number of wartime commissions, in September 1942 he became a full-time salaried artist attached to the Air Ministry and was elected as a Royal Academician in 1945, becoming a highly respected society portraitist after the war. Well known works include portraits of the Queen and Royal Family, murals for the Queen Mary ocean liner, Duncannon Hotel in London and the Science Museum, the House of Parliament and House of Lords in session (c.1960-62) and The Beatles (1964). ** This sketch is owned by descendants of the family who ran Harkers Studio in Southwark, South London, a painting rooms for theatrical scenery founded in 1904 by the renowned theatre scene painter and backdrop designer, Joseph Harker. The huge, full size portrait of the Red Army soldier was painted at Harkers Studio, several members of the Harker family being involved in production of the piece, including the vendor's father, Colin Harker, who painted the soldier's boots. * Condition: The sheet has been rolled and stored for many years and therefore has some roll-creasing visible throughout.
