Provenance: Winifred Knights; thence by descent.

Winifred Knights was one of the Slade's most striking beauties. Amongst others fellow Slade-trained artists Arnold Mason, Colin Gill and Thomas Monnington all fell under her spell.

When Monnington arrived in Rome early in 1923,  to take up his Painting Scholarship, Knights broke off her engagement to Arnold Mason.  Knights and Monnington were married in April 1924.
