Preparatory Oil Painting of John Cowper Powys 1872-1963

Such an unusual find. This is a preparatory painting of a finished artwork which you can find via google.

I’m not allowed to show the final painting because of copyright.

John Cowper Powys was a well known English novelist, lecturer, critic and poet born in Shirley, Derbyshire. 1872-1963

Dimensions incl frame 54 x 48.5 cm.

There is wear and tear to the frame.

There was something so unusual about this that I couldn’t not buy it
