The Horse Dealers, 1955
Watercolour and black crayon, 50.8 cm x 44.5 cm
' . . . in February 1958 I had my last exhibition at the Leicester . . . One drawing "The Horse Dealers" priced at £25 was sold to Fredddie Mayor at a reduced sum; because, as [gallery owner Oliver] Brown explained to me afterwards ,"Mayor is a dealer." However, Freddie lost no time in selling it almost immediately to the Tate Gallery at much more than the "Cut Price" he paid for it' – William Roberts, Five Posthumous Essays and Other Writings (Valencia, 1990), p. 116.
