The painting is signed and dated lower left. Mitchell's self-caricature is part of the signature. Denis mitchell was a british sculptor, painter and teacher; a consummate craftsman and one of the leading lights in the st ives school. Initially a painter, he became renowned for his exemplary polished bronze sculptures. It has been said that no sculptor junior to hepworth and moore other than mitchell made such a profound impact on twentieth century british sculpture. Born in middlesex, brought up in south wales, he lived most of his life in cornwall, where he was one of the leading lights in the st ives modern school. He was principal assistant to barbara hepworth for a decade and a good friend to many of the leading artists of british modern art. Mitchell’s work is in many leading public collections, both in the uk and internationally.
