Caterina Maffeis

I am offering for auction a beautiful 20th century watercolour by the artist Philip Meninsky. The painting features a ballet dancer holding a pose during her dance class. 

Philip Meninsky was born in London, the younger son of  painter  and  art  teacher  Bernard Meninsky. He was brought  up and educated  in  Hertfordshire.
He left school shortly before the outbreak of World War II and subsequently joined his County Regiment and was sent to the Far East. After the fall of Singapore, Meninsky  was taken  prisoner  and put to work on the Siam-Burma railway, where he met Ronald Searle. During captivity and for about three months afterwards, Meninsky made drawings for the Australian Medical Authorities, many of which were used in the War Criminal trials. 
After the war, Meninsky settled in Scotland and through William and Mary Armour became associated with Glasgow School of Art, and began to  exhibit  annually  from  1950  in  the  major Scottish  institutions. 

Condition. In good overall condition. Please view all images for condition as these form part of the description. Ready to hang.
