Provenance: The Artist's Studio

Literature: Llewellyn, Sacha, and Paul Liss. Portrait of an Artist. Liss Llewellyn, 2021, p.82.

Despite being one of the most  brilliant draughtsmen of his generation – fellow artist John Ward  compared his immaculate pastels to those of  the 18th-century Swiss master Jean Etienne Liotard - Daly wasn't interested in public recognition and was reluctant to exhibit.  Nothing pleased him more than drawing his studio, for his pleasure,  showing its simple contents: a  lay figures, a set square, a pile of sketch books, a solander box, or an array of country chairs.
