Sir William Orpen 1930

Primarily correspondence relating to requests for loans or reproductions of works by Orpen in the collection, including a copy of the portrait of General Elles to be painted by James Sleator for the Tank Corps. Extensive correspondence relates to the copy of 'The Refugee (A)', in the possession of Monsignor Newsome, as referred to in the previous file. Eventually the picture was sent in for inspection and the fact that it was a copy was noted on the verso. The file also mentions the gift from Orpen of his painting 'The Harvest' (IWM:ART 4663).
