Sadly, this painting is currently AWOL, but we can reconstruct a great deal about it from press-coverage and contemporary interest in the work of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, as well as theatre reviews of Drusilla Wills’ forty-five year career as a specialist ‘character actor’.
See: One of Our Portraits is Missing: Drusilla Wills as Mrs Jike by James Arden Grant (1938) *
Enjoy, best Chris Hopkins.
