Provenance: Marjorie Gwynneth Townsend-Whitling and by descent Other Notes: Born in 1895 in Norfolk, Marjorie Townsend-Whitling married Arturo Brown Castellanos, the Uruguayan Cultural Attaché to Belgium, and went on to live in Brussels in the 1920s. She moved in artistic circles, developing close friendships with Alfred Bastien in Brussels, and later with Stanley Spencer when she moved to Cookham, England in 1933. An alternative attribution for the present work has been given to Reca McGibbon, who lived in Cookham and was a friend of the family.
