Roger Fry (1866-1934)
"View from Rodwell House"
Inscribed with title on stretcher verso, oil on canvas, 37cm by 45cm

Provenance: The Estate of Helen Anrep

Helen Anrep and Roger Fry purchased Rodwell House near Baylham, Suffolk together in 1928. This work was reputedly painted in 1933, the year before his death. Apparently Fry spent that year painting on the Anrep estate and touring around the South of England in a motor car (despite his reputation as a terrible driver).
