Grant painted him several times in the late 1920s, and Morris’s sister Dora (later Lady Romilly) was painted by Vanessa Bell (now in the collection of Leeds City Art Gallery). Here Grant depicts Morris in rich and fluent colours positioned in a green upholstered wingback chair, that formerly belonged to Sickert. The chair, along with a similarly upholstered chaise-lounge, came into Grant’s possession when he took over Sickert’s Fitzroy Street studio.
