A featured highlight in our 300 years of British Drawings sale is a rare drawing by Herbert James Gunn, one of the great British portrait artists of the 20th Century.⠀
.⠀
The pictured study for 'Conversation piece' depicts the prolific writers Hilaire Belloc, G.K. Chesterton and Maurice Baring.⠀
.⠀
Here, we see him exploring the dynamics of the group and their relationships in the way they stand and sit around the central table.⠀
.⠀
This highly unusual full-scale drawing suggests that he may have limited opportunity to paint the three men together.⠀
.⠀
The 'squaring' grid would have allowed him to easily transfer his composition onto the canvas of the final picture.⠀

Herbert James Gunn R.A. (1893-1964), Study for 'Conversation piece (G.K. Chesterton; Maurice Baring; Hilaire Belloc)'. Estimate: £10,000-£15,000.⠀
