Signed and dated 1938, pastel
Provenance: The work was inherited by the current vendor as part of their aunt's estate. She had worked at the BBC during the 1950s and 60s and she and her BBC writer/director partner were good friends of various luminaries of the London arts and culture scene, such as Dylan Thomas, Nina Hamnett and Charles Laughton. It is likely Gore was also a part of this circle and that the work was purchased or gifted directly by the artist.
