Interestingly this highly collectible work is possibly one of the famous British artists later works. Sadly, he began to go blind later in life and we think it reflects in the more free and loose manner of this particular piece. After George partly recovered, he continued to paint, often aided by a powerful eyeglass, working up close. - Artist Biography George Armfield was born in London in 1808.
